AKABO Subaru Sambar Red Top Valve Cover Change with Gasket and Valve Adjustment HELP!

[@OlavAlexanderMjelde]

hello, Im looking at a sambar pickup for importing it from Japan, but I heard engine noises on the videos of it. They say they think its valves and that they can service it before selling it. But I saw your video about rod bearings so I was kindof scared of the noise. How do you hear the difference between the two on the sambar?

Okay where did you get the Sambar manual. The ones on eBay don't look like that with the spiral booklet

that one i got from GR Imports but they literally took the james danko one and just reprinted it and spiral bound it

Easiest method for knowing when you're TDC for #1...trace the number 1 wire to the cap. That is cylinder #1. Remove the cap and watch the rotor while turning the engine to align it TDC for #1. When the rotor points to #1 and the TDC mark on the pulley is correctly aligned at 0 you are at TDC #1.

I’m probably just really bad at listening but what is that stuff that you said you applied to the 90 degree angles on the valve cover gasket?

ultra black or ultra gasket gasket sealer :D
