[FC] valve lash

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Tim,

I think you may have the head torque sequence confused with the valve adjustment sequence.  I know there are a couple different torque sequences advocated over the years, but for cold valve adjustment I'm pretty sure everyone uses the factory sequence - there isn't much dispute if the valves are open or closed.  I can tell you for sure I've used the factory shop manual adjustment order with good results.

Yes, the valves left to right from the rocker arm side are I,E;I,E;I,E.

Hope that helps,

--Bryan

The assy manual says to rotate the motor to TDC  on #1 in compression and then gives the procedure on how to adjust the rocker nut. After setting those valves the engine is rotated one complete revolution C.C. and the rest of the valves are set using the same procedure. At one time there was controversy about the order of which valves to set. Are we correct in following the assembly manual? ALSO: looking at the head with the nuts installed you see the 6 valve stems under their rocker arms. As we look at the head is this the correct sequence of these valves going from left to right:......I,E., I.E, I,E.ThanksTim Werner'61 Rampy 140 -4 spd
