Subject: Re: Rocker help by Midnight85 on 2009/3/26 14:23:14 I prefer to run the valves with the engine off and I have never had an issue doing it that way but there is absolutely nothing wrong with anesthes' procedure either. First off, are you running a hydraulic cam? A solid lifter will make noise because of the the lash setting. Here's a procedure I use. Starting at number one cylinder I turn the engine until number 1 intake valve is almost closed, at this point I set the exhaust valve. Then run the engine over until the exhaust is just starting to open, this is where you will set the intake. Check with the lifter mfgr. and see what preload setting they recommend, Crane suggests 1/2 to 1 turn after zero lash. I had to do the full 1 turn on my engine but there is no valvetrain noise. Also don't mistake injectors clicking for valvetrain noise. I had some Ford pinktops in mine for a while that were very loud. |
