I put about 2.5 - 3 hours into my first valve adjust. No way I could have even considered doing this without this board. I figure next time should be 60-90 minute job.
The number one cylinder is a bit loud and I was hoping the valve adj. would take care of it. No such luck. Maybe new Valve Stem Seals at next Adjust? Although once job was done, I adjusted ALDA to the lean until white smoke nearly eliminated from exhaust at idle. This seemed to quiet things down a bit (less fuel to wash away the oil?).
So, with
1.) repaired vac. sys.,
2.) repaired ALDA vac. line from manifold,
3.) new fuel filters and
4.) regular diet of PowerService and/or RedLine,
5.) adjusted valves,
6.) new fuel shut-off valve and
7.) new Rack Pin
she is purring.
Thank you, gentlemen. This resource makes a tremendous difference for me.
