The valves were noisy so after fully warming it up I pulled off the valve cover and laid some card board in its place to keep oil from spilling out. I then started up motor and starting from front to back loosening tappets one at a time until I heard the loud clicking then I tightened it down until noise stopped. I then went a additional 1/4 turn tighter and moved onto next one. Well the motor was quiet and ran good.
I now have an original 50 216 chevrolet. Any thoughts on the above procedure for this motor?
Thanks John. | | |
