<VV> valve adjusting sequence after an o-ring job....

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

Hey guys, I found it on page 182 in Bob Helt's "The Classic  Corvair"....  
The surprising thing is I was correct...
:-)
Thanks everyone... NOW I'm off to bed.
:-)
Good night!
Lonzo

Hey guys  (and gals),
Since it's been maybe 8 years since my last o-ring job, and I  can't locate  
my HTKYCA book, I need a refresher on the valve  adjusting procedure...
With #1 at TDC
#1 I&E, #3 I, #5 E, #4 E, #6  I

then turn crank 360 degrees and do:
#3 E, #5 I, #2 I&E, #4 I,  #6 E....

and yes, I know you look for actual movement in the length of  the rod, not  
checking if it twists...
So, is that sequence  correct?

I didn't even look in my Tech Guide... it's probably in  there... or my "Bob  
Helt Collection".... I might check those in the  morning...

Yeah, I'm getting ready to do the Ultra... her parts came in  Saturday, and  
I've already cleared it with my instructor to skip  class tomorrow.
:-)
But the first plan of action is the rear caliper...  It is a 1990 Eldorado  
rear caliper, and I'll be replacing it... it's  the type with the lever that  
tightens the pads to the rotor... I  looked at the parts at the parts store  
today... so I'll be getting  that done first, and flushing the brake fluid as 
 well. 
and bleeding  the front brakes...
:-)
Gotta be able to stop those whales, ya  know...
Well, I'll be looking at any answers in the morning.... and looking  in  
Bob's 
book... I'm sure it's in there now that I think about  it.... and if any of  
you guys DON'T have Bob Helt's book "The  Classic Corvair", do yourself a 
favor  
and get it.... worth every  cent! (and no, I'm not getting any kickbacks from 
 
Bob... he's just  an amazing wealth of knowledge, and I'm fortunate to know 
"who  the  hell" he is.... you old timers on the list might remember THAT   
exchange)....
;-)
Y'all have a good night, I'm getting some  rest.
Later,
Lonzo
