Valve Adjustment is Next - Tips ?


Conn47D24

Recommended Posts

1947 Dodge , 230 Engine rebuild.

 

Today I adjusted the idle rpm's and the timing.

 

3rd time running the engine since the rebuild.  Running very smooth.

 

Oil gauge is strong just above 40. Looks like 45.  Gets up there right away.

 

I've been on the lookout for leaks and so far so good.

 

Next week I want to tackle the valve adjustments.

 

Read up, and also watched several videos .  I have the two long flat wrenchs.

 

Other than wear gloves !   

 

Any advice ?

I did set them cold and thought the hot setting was standard procedure. 

Mostly Im hearing some tapping .

 

No driving yet, just garage.

 

Certainly will use the gauge on all before i start adjusting any.

 

Hope only a few need adjustment.
