Valve Adjustment on a Chevy 235

- Valve adjustment on a 1961 Chevy 235, inside of a 1948 Chevy German helmet. Victory Auto finished installing a full custom wire harness, 2 barrel carburetor and other miscellaneous repairs.
After getting the car started up for the first time, we realized how rough it was running. After some troubleshooting, he quickly found that it needed a valve adjustment because the pushrods were previously replaced.

Just a comment from an old man who ran a garage for a living. Stove bolts inline sixes don't have to be noisy. The problem with the procedure you show is there is a drastic temperature change from the start to the finish. If your settings don't allow for it there will not be accurate. my procedure is getting the engine running and able to be loaded as in driving or cruising in a marine application. Shut it down and then check and set the number six-cylinder valves, they will be the hottest. Set the valve cover back on and wait till morning then measure the valve setting on number six cylinder. This is your cold engine setting. Use that to set the valve without temperature change for a more accurate setting. If you want it quit running reduce the settings about 1 or 2 thousandths. Tighter the settings the less wear takes place in the valve train and longer before needing adjustment. But hey I'm just a old, retired mechanic who worked on these for a living.
I want to compliment you about the quality of work you preformed on you magnificent car. Its a winner in any show! Be proud of your accomplishments.
My cousin who was a "stove bolt" savant would adjust the valves by making the engine idle down to about 450 rpm and adjust the valve while it was running. As some as the engine missed he would loosen the screw a bit then tighten the lock nut.
Very knowledgeable...great job!
Thanks you for sharing on 235 ,it helped me with my 53 /210 . Looking for more videos from you 😊
I had that same Weber setup on my 235. I ran it for a while and then went back to the stock Rochester. I got better gas mileage, but the engine suffered a very noticeable power loss. I found out later that the Weber is only a 200 CFM carb. I’m now going to put that Weber on a 216 since the stock carb is long gone. It will probably work better on a smaller motor. You have a nice looking car.
I am learning this stuff right now and I'm in my 40's. It fun. I enjoy the old cars. Yours is sounding really good 👍
Once it is set to TDC Did you adjust all valves without moving ot off of TDC??
great info. Like to see more.
Good Job, pls keep at it!
I hope you make more videos because I really enjoyed this
Enjoyed this. At 85 knee these firsthand.
Thanks for the valve position lesson and reminding me I'm a dummy😅
Que chingon!!!
I read that if you’re adjusting them cold add 2 thousands so they won’t be to close when hot. I’d check while hot to verify
Are you turning the air/fuel mixture screw towards the end? Also, are the gap specs different for a mild cam? Thanks. Great video
Is that a Weber 32/36 carb?
What carb r u running on the 235 ?
Buenas noches pueden enviarme a que orgura calibraron las válvulas de admisión y escape
Buenas tardes me puedes decir cuanto as milésimas debe llevar el ajuste de válvula de agnición y existo de un motor 235
Bro I’d to take my truck to you, where you located? Thank You
i do mine wile the 235 is running much easyer
Unfortunately I’ve seen other mechanic damage valves that way. When you’re getting paid to adjust someone’s valves, doing them hot with the engine off, per by the book is a more accurate and safer when you’re working on cars that arnt yours
Thanks. Where yall @ ?
My shop is in La Habra now
Can you hook me up? I got a 51 chevy styleline 216 . I'm in S.D. nice work . Learned alot
Everyone usually does their 216 at exhaust 18 intake 6 never'd hurt anything
Never came across anyone doing at 216 at .018” exhaust.
.013” exhaust is the correct adjustment for 216’s. Not 235’s.
