Thank you for clarifying this method! Only rotating the motor twice instead of eight or sixteen times, smart! 😉 Thanks again!
This was the way I was first taught back in 83 by my first boss man , who ran a ExxonMobil station / repair shop & was an ol bracket racer. ..& a farmer..lol.
Learnt alot from that man ,
& I'm forever grateful that he seen & thought enough of me to pass his knowledge along
Back then automotive knowledge & especially speed secrets were closely guarded, nothing at all like today! ..Glad to be old school!!!
I have subbed your channel because of this tutorial. Thank you for sharing this
Adjust intake when exhaust cracks open, exhaust when intake starts closing, this put lifter on base circle. Been doing it that way for 45 years, never a loose or tight valve.
Well after watching the video i went down and had a better look at the damper...its marked all the way around with 0° 90° 180° 270° all clearly marked!!! Obviously a performance one so i went and adjusted they way you show and you saved me a lot of cranking by hand lol...and i feel its a more accurate way as theres a few interpretations on EOIC method.
This method will work just fine, but there is a point where you can adjust half the valves then turn the crank and adjust the other 8, I will say I’m not sure if you can have a cam with enough duration that you can’t use that method. Also like to mention what he refers to as BDC was not BDC, this is a 4 cycle/stroke engine and you hit TDC two times in the combustion cycle and what he referred to as BDC was actually TDC on the exhaust stroke. Cranks turn 2 revolutions in 4 cycle engines, 2 crank revolutions to 1 cam revolution. 4 strokes, one for every 180* so from TDC with the timing mark on the dampener aligned with the pointer somewhere on the timing cover you would turn the crank 180* or half a turn to reach BDC. At that point you will have either the intake valve open or the exhaust open depending on which stroke your on or which revolution (because there is 2 revolutions in a 4 cycle) people refer to these as either the intake stroke or exhaust stroke, which there is actually 2 strokes for the intake event and 2 strokes for the exhaust event.
Yes sir
In the late 60's, I apprenticed in a two man shop. He taught me tension on a feeler blade is equal to a thumb and forefinger from your wife's hand the edge of a $100 bill. Yank! Remember that feeling to tightness. Yours may vary!
DK, ASE master tech since 78.
😆 lol!
Well that was the first time I have seen it done like that I did do it in firing order but not both valves at once but I like it I do ajust my hydraulic roller to zero by rolling the motor over the same way and take up the lash on each one after I go 4 complete revolutions and I'm at zero lash on each cylinder then a half turn and lock it down. Thanks for that trick . Your friend from Louisiana Rick 427
Wouldnt it be more accurate if the engine was warm?
Great video, would this procedure work with hydraulic lifters as well? Adjusting accordingly for hyd. setup of course.
Yes, but do not use feeler gauges. I will have to explain on another episode on how you need to feel a little pull with you fingers while rotating the pushrod it self, then a 1/4 to 1/2 a turn with the ratchet. I'll make sure to post a video in the future on these adjustments and the easy way to do it. Stay tuned and thanks for the idea's on a future video.
exhaust lash is always set with more lash.
Also with a brand new flat tappet cam your only rotating the new cam one revolution as to not wipe off all of your cam assembly lube . Remember the crank to cam radio is 2 to 1
Good point to point out, always use the best lube for these cams as possible, and don't be stingy, more is always better than not enough.
Wouldnt a bunch of assembly lube on the tappet prevent it from spinning?
You are saying that on number 1 TDC, if you rotate the crank 360 degrees, it is now BDC?
Don't think so, just saying.
Can’t you just watch intake open intake close for tdc?
Is this procedure done on a hot or cold motor?
Cold
if you dont know what a feeler gauge is you probably shouldnt be building an engine
Come on brother, don't be rough to these boys. You know how hard it is to get this new generation to get interested in hot rods? I want to stay positive, if they don't know, get a SA Design book from Oreillys for 25.00 bucks, and read how to build a small block V8 or how to balance and blue print an engine, or tools needed to do the job. Remember you, me , all us ol timer's didn't know shit when we all started. I didn't know what a pair of linemans was when I started as an electrician 25 years ago, but know run the company. So lets encourage not discourage , I mean we could all start in all complicated builds such as thermal dynamic heat induced by and amplified by harmonic residence vibration caused my micro and gram hammering of the crank, but some people don't know that just a few grams of weight off on your rotating assembly causes these issues to the crank once your more that 6 thousands of a gram off of weight due to unbalanced rotating assembly, which will blow your engine up. Basically whats easy to me, may be hard for you. And these new guys coming up thru the ranks can't handle alot of negative feed back, the generations as they pass are having it easier and easier. And this is due to us, the old timers, making technology easier and more attainable. Hell when I started in this trade we didn't even have battery operated drills, all work done by hand, all ditches dug by hand. Know you can go get a mini X or pick up a cordless drill, its our faults, and its only going to get worse as the next generations rise and come forth. We just have to keep the racing, hot rod, and the love for the automobile alive, as the best we can. I hope you understand what I'm saying and take this as changing your mind on getting on a boys ass about not knowing a tool. God bless, god speed, and thanks again for the comments.
