Does it matter that the exhaust side and intake side look like they are negatively correlating (i.e. the exhaust side screwed out most of the way, the intake side screwed in all the way)?
The problem does seem to be focused mainly on that valve. (the other side exhaust is going out, but without as much regularity.) They are all original, the engine has never been split/ worked on internally. My knowledge on the inner workings is also limited. i.e. I am looking up lapping and grinding. thanks |

Veiwing the engine as you were sitting on the seat looking forward. With the valve cap covers off, rotate the engine until the left side exhaust rocker is "loose"
adjust exhaust rocker on the left side. Rotate the engine until the right side intake rocker is loose. Adjust the intake rocker on the right intake. Rotate the engine until the right exhaust rocker is loose Adjust the right exhaust rocker. Rotate the engine until the left intake rocker is loose Adjust the left intake rocker. Adjust the valve lash one more time completely and see how the engine runs. If the engine runs well you can loctite the nuts down if you like. I have never used loctite on an internal engine part..but, if I had to I would try to clean the threads with acetone. I would probably use a saturated q-tip to clean the threads. Sam may have a better way to adjust the valve lash, but this is how I do it. |
