HOW TO...HYDRAULIC VALVE ADJUSTMENT MADE SIMPLE! THE OLD SCHOOL WAY!

[@1040heart]

I wish I seen this video first!!! BRILLIANT

[@DesertRatFabrication]

Great video, I’ve never seen the valves set like that I have always rolled it over and did em in the firing order, but you know what they say, there’s more than one way to skin a cat, lol, really been enjoying videos Dan😀😀

Thanks man...this way works well, it runs like a champ!

[@raymondmcclintock]

My buddy rebuilt mine and it chatters after watching how you did it I'm going do it that way so thank you for this video you're awesome man

[@dirtydansrodncycle]

Thanks! It's easy and it works...thanks for watching!

Great video, so from my understanding there shouldn't be no play on the valves?

[@dirtydansrodncycle]

So, zero lash is where none of the push rods have play, but depending on the crank position, some of them can turn with your fingertips. Then the 3/4 turn with the ratchet sets the preload.

@dirtydansrodncycle great thank you for your advice 👍🏼

Does this work on any overhead valve 4 stroke engine? It kooks simple enough.

Hey Dan, i just picked up a small block for my 49 Pontiac and it runs insanely good. I pulled valve covers off and it's got roller rockers and guide plates. It sounds pretty lumpy and very snappy. I noticed that the rockers are a bit loose. Will this technique work on my engine as well? Should I just tighten them, or should I set the preload as well? I remembered this video from way back and rewatched it.

[@dirtydansrodncycle]

If it was me, I'd probably go from scratch again using the same method.

[@rattlekankustoms]

@dirtydansrodncycle awesome, thanks Dan.

Too bad that Chuck is gone! I've never adjusted valves using your method. However, I've adjusted (chevy) valves very few times in my life. Interesting!

[@dirtydansrodncycle]

After I made the video, Chuck has returned! I guess he was layin' low while that cat was hanging around.

[@ryangarner6099]

So this method will work on a 4.3l.

[@dirtydansrodncycle]

yes sir
