Author	Topic: Dumb valve lash adjustment question
afret Gearhead Posts: 180 From: Lancaster, CA Registered: Feb 2003	posted 08-29-2004 03:13 PM I use the exhaust opening/intake closing method like Alex recommends. I have been adjusting the intake when the exhaust is just starting to open. When checking lash today I happened to notice that the lash on the intake opened up .001-.002 more when the exhaust valve was close to fully open. Does this mean I should adjust the intakes when the exhaust valve is almost fully open? Shouldn't the "lash" be the maximum gap between the rocker and valve tip with the valve on the seat? IP: Logged

When the intake closes 1/2-3/4 (pushrod goes down) set the exhaust. SteveW [This message has been edited by steve'66 (edited 08-29-2004).] IP: Logged
