| Post subject: | Valve Lash Settings for older engine? |
I adjusted/checked the valve settings on my 69 - 225 and they were off a little, according to what the "book" says to use. The book says .012 intake and .024 exhaust. That's what I tried to accomplish and I think I got them all close. Is this correct? Or should I use a different setting for a motor with at least 196,000 miles on it? I was thinking that if I got them too tight they might burn a few things or I would loose power? Thanks for any info, Talk at ya later, Dan gramma@dm-tech.net |

If your .012 / .024 setting sounds OK (not any loud ticking sounds) then you may want to run it for a while, then recheck / re-set later. I do not think you would see any real performance difference between the two settings. Search the messages for "key word" valve adjustment (all) and review these posts for more info. DD |
