Hello all,
Asking for a friend:
If you have done valve clearance check/adjustment?
Is/Was it doable with the motor in the frame? I'd like to believe/think it is?
I'm hoping that they are in fact in spec, thus not having to pull the cams, etc. And yes, I have done cams, built whole motors, etc. But it runs fantanstic, this is routine maintenance- now juist over 25K.
For those that have- how do you see the cam ends, when the frame is right there in the way from seeing it end on?
Can you still see the timing marks to re-time it once it's ready to go back together? Assuming I am going to have to re-shim some.
TIA
first I moved it where we can still pull 2 SUV's in the garage.- I don't like brushing snow/scraping windshield in the morning.
Then put an electric space heater, to bring it up to 55F in there.- not too bad with sweatshirts/hat on. I know there are better space heater options, It's all I gots.
Started in, it's so much easier after you've hade the plastics off a time or two
Then, after a short time, done for now
Seriously, those that have performed this task, is it doable in the frame- right? :| :wink
