Thread: solid lash adjustment

Tweet

Quick clarification....when the timing marks align on your cam, it's at #6. If your experience level is kinda low, try this.....you have already spotted the lifter situation where they are not seated but equal in their bore. This will work for you. Watch number 6, when it aligns the damper mark and (I repeat and) the timing mark is on the mark, do number one and so on. This simplelest way to do this is split the firing order. take a piece of paper and write the firing order down but, write the first four and directly underneath those four numbers, write the last four. When one cylinder is on overlap of the cam, the exact opposite cylinder is ready to adjust. Example when 6 is on overlap, 1 is ready to go. When 5 is on over lap,8 is ready to go. When 7 is on overlap, 4 is ready to go...get it? when you run the first four, invert the selection. It sounds hard but when you write it down like I described it comes pretty clear. Watch your marks and if you haven't marked the damper yet, please do that for visual reference remembering that ever 90 degrees is you stopping point on the crankshaft rotation. Start by bumping the engine until number 1 pops up on the damper an double check to make sure it is number 1 by looking at number 6, then start the process. overlap equals compression on the opposite cylinder in the firing order.
