Rocker Adjustmnet Help
O.K. this is a new thread following my No Spark one.
Update. I have fuel, Have a good spark( may coil tested bad in the secondary circut) with new coil but still no start. So, now I sit an think what did I do wrong. Timing gears on the money(dot to dot on gears),every bolts tighted to spec, holycow I did not adjust my rockers correctly! I just tighten them down without finding TDC on each cylinder. I need assistant on this procedure. Do I rotate the pushrod side to side or do I lift it up and down for adjustment? Do you guys think I bent a pushrod? I would like an explanation of the valve layout, starting with the one closes to the front of the engine example intake,exhaust right on down the line. THis way I will know which one is correct. I have a 292 engine! |

Re: Rocker Adjustmnet Help
Put each cylinder on firing postion, adjust rocker so that the push rod will not spin with your fingers, if any are bent you`ll find in then.

Re: Rocker Adjustmnet Help
Place cylinder as mentioned ^.
Rotate engine until ignition rotor is at #1 Adjust INTAKE valves 1, 2, and 4 and EXHAUST valves 1, 3, and 5 by: Back off rocker arm nut until lash is felt, then tighten nut until all lash is removed, then tighten 3/4 to one full turn Rotate motor until ignition rotor is at #6 Adjust INTAKE valves 3, 5, and 6 and EXHAUST valves 2, 4, and 6 using the same procedure above. If you find a bent push rod, take it out, throw it in the trash if you want and just go get another one. No big deal. I've replaced many of them. Sometimes you can straighten them back out if you're careful, but I don't like to do that. |

Re: Rocker Adjustmnet Help
A good service manual will brek it down for you perfectly.
