The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Checking valve timing on a 216

Hi All,

Is the valve timing check typically done, or do most folks rely on the timing marks and move forward?

Have any of you come up with a procedure to check valve timing on an engine without the flywheel housing in place? The engine I'm working on is a 1951 216 that will be swapped into my 1947 3100. The FW housing is still "in the truck".

Thanks in advance for the help.

Bill
