- Does you L-head have low compression or a bad tick? This might be just what you need. Step by step instructions on how to adjust your valve tappet clearance. You’ll need a par of 1/2” open end wrenches, I breaker bar or ratchet with a 1-3/8” socket and a set of feeler gauges.

Have you ever been an instructor? Just seems so natural and effortless
Thank you! I used to be a phys Ed teacher. Not sure there’s a correlation. 😆 but sometimes I do get mad and tell my Jeep to take a lap! it never listens. Haha!

Thanks for these videos- just finished a valve adjustment using this method. Made it quick and simple 👍
Excellent!! 😎 glad to hear it!!
That’s really cool I have a few 8N Ford tractors that will come in handy!😀🇨🇦
Just used your video to adjust the valves in WildBlue Willys block.... a 1000 thanks...
Excellent! It brings me great joy to know it helped someone.
Glad your channel exists. Just picked up a 47 CJ2a tonight, looking forward to fixing it up and getting it out on the trail!
Awesome! Thank you! Have fun!!
Every time you post a video I realize I need more tools. 😀
You can never have too many tools!
Very informative video 👍
Awesome segment today!! Learned a bunch!! Now..off to practice this lesson!!
C ya on the next
video!!

Awesome! Im sure you’ll do a great job! Thanks for watching!
🙂 Super video 👍🙂
Thank you very much!
Neat video 👍
Thanks 👍
Hi Seth, Great video, thanks very much. Quick question regarding the tappet clearance. You mentioned 0.014" for the L134. But I'm checking the Service Manual and it's calling for 0.016" (in Section D, page 55) instead. Am I reading this wrong? Or is 14-16 thousands all within tolerance? Best regards, Dan
Some heads will list the specifications. All will be somewhere between 014-016. The factory services manual calls for .014 I have found .016 often leads to a noisy ticking engine. I always do .014
@@redeyecafegarage7484 Got it thanks. Will go with 0.014, my CJ2A already makes enough noise as it is. =) Thanks again!
Does this "Magic 9" method work on the F-Head. Obviously adjusting the intake valves from the rocker.
The f-head is a little different. I’ll have to do a separate video for that.
@@redeyecafegarage7484 I've recently used the "opposing valve" method. Doing the intake and exhaust valves separately. I was just curious if there was another potentially faster way.
Can you show us how to do this on a 13B?
Yes that’s my next video haha😅
On my L134 cylinder 4 is topping out at a compression of 75 psi, while cylinders 1-3 are all consistent at 90-100. Is this indicative of a tight valve? Spark plugs looked good and as far as I can tell there’s no coolant in the oil or anything that would suggest to be that the head gasket has failed
Adjust the valves and re-check the compression. If the valves are adjusted properly and one cylinder has low compression it could be the valve surfaces are not sealing properly or there’s a problem with the rings.
@@redeyecafegarage7484 thanks man gunna do that this weekend and just crush a ton of beer
Are you doing that cold?
Yessir. Always cold as per the factory service manual. 👍
Wait....4 from 9 isnt 6, 4 from 9 is 5. Your first example is #5 therefore you should be counting the last valve to the right as #8, not #9. 9 is an imaginary valve in this equation.
No, you may have to watch the video again and you’ll see how its counted.
Well, it surely works, its just the math part that made me shake my head 😁. I had to dig to find someone that explained it as I do it ua-cam.com/video/hkeTbhG_PRI/v-deo.htmlsi=fiPVVbyCFj1sUa3x
