Quick Valve Lash Question
First the procedure:
The cam in my ZZ430 clone is 218/228 @ 0.050, .525/.525 lift, 112 LS.
I originally set the valve lash by going to TDC on each cylinder, then 1/2 turn past zero lash.
I've always done it that way, and never had problems. But because of some discussions on this board, and the cam grinders instructions I've read lately, I decided to re-run the valves as follows:
When the exhust valve starts to open, I set the intake.
I then ran the intake to full lift and back down until it was about to close, and set the exhaust.
Now the question:
On some of the valves, the half turn is very easy, and, right after adjustment, I can push the rocker down with my thumb. On others, the half turn is quite stiff, and I can't move the rocker with my thumb at all. Does this sound odd?Jack
