Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Hints to setting the valves..

[shendren]

DO NOT USE THE 6"-# WRENCH!! YOU CAN'T GET THE FEELER GUAGE OUT!! WHAT A FRAPPIN MESS AND WASTE OF MONEY... .



YOU DON'T NEED A BARRING TOOL EITHER (WASTE OF $ FOR THIS JOB). JUST USE A 22 ON THE ALTERNATOR PULLEY.



PULL THAT SILLY TIMING PIN OUT, PULL OFF THE O-RING, THROW AWAY THE STAR WASHER. THEN PUT IT BACK IN TO FIND TDC.



MANY THANKS TO KEITH (RAMMIN ON) FOR ALL OF THE HELP AND TIPS...



AND ... ... REMEMBER TO COME TO

What are the measurements for the intake and exhaust valve lash? Is there a certain order the valves need to be adjusted in?
