    Adjusting hydraulic valves

    Got it close with the engine off, then finished it up with the motor running, dirty as hell and will smoke for a couple days now that it's coated in oil, but runs like a dream. The distributor is a tooth off but im compensating with advance for now, seems to run fine. Puffs white smoke out the...

    Adjusting hydraulic valves

    Oh alright, that explain why the motor runs like the valves are hanging open. Is there a way to adjust primed lifters?

    Adjusting hydraulic valves

    Could you explain a bit about what a primed lifter means? My understanding is that that's when its full of oil and under pressure, but im not sure how to tell when it is and isnt primed

    Adjusting hydraulic valves

    After some research, i think im gonna turn my old valve covers into adjusters and just adjust the valves with the motor running. Since im not running anything special I think il be ok, just gonna go until i dont hear clatter. I think this will work best since my lifters are full of oil, this'll...

    Looks like bondo and a plate, as long as its not welded, id look for a stock system to put in, when i rebuilt mine i had no trouble just freshening up my exciting vent system with putty paint and weather stripping, now it works like its fresh from the factory. Be sure to snag the harness for an...

    Adjusting hydraulic valves

    Just generally, it shakes real bad too. Its not like a lack of power, more like weird pressure

    Lifter identification and timing setting

    Lol everything here is factory, its very possible the whole motor is coming apart, I just want to do my best to postpone it while everything's apart. What makes you say hydraulic so fast? Just so i can understand better

    Lifter identification and timing setting

    Took my intake off to do a gasket change, notised my lifters were all out of wack. Some are set with 0 lash like a hydraulic, some have tons of play like a solid. Not sure which I have to reset the lash. I tried compressing the center of a lifter in a vice with a bolt, couldn't do it. Tried...
