well, the clicking is getting louder now, so I am going to adjust the valvs. (not to mention the drag strip on the 13th.
Question is this. When I take off the valve covers, and bring up the # 1 piston, will this make oil pump through the system? Seems to me that it would. If I changed my oil at the same time as adjusting the valves, I could eliminate this, but would I need to reprime my pump? And would this even work?
Also, just to make sure I have this all right is this the way it is done.
Bring # 1 to TDC slip the (damn what is the name of the tool
) for .028 (if that is what my cam calls for) then tighten the "nut". Then go to the Exhasut side do the same. Then go to # 3 and do the same?? Correct me if I am wrong please. Its been 6 months since the motor was first put together, and I did not do it then, just watched it get done.
Thanks a lot!
