Noah H Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Hello, I am going to adjust the valves running on my 1950 dodge car engine. It is a 230 and has been overhauled about 15,000 miles ago. The valves have became pretty chattery when hot. I would like to adjust them. I have lended my manual to my friend but I would need reassurance before I preform the procedure .008 intake and .010 exhaust? Is adjusting them a lengthy process? Thank you!

Tom Skinner Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) You Tube also has an excellent video under Industrial Engine Flat Head Valve Adjustment. Shows it Cold First. I set mine Cold. Warm it up and Set em again Hot if necessary. Trying to do it with the Engine running is enough to knock you out. Check em Hot and Running!

DJ194950 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Note glove use in the video. They will be required to use for the running, hot adjusting. . Don't ask for testimony!! ? DJ DJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
