<VV> Lifter Question

[Mark Durham]

Bob, and to add to the confusion factor, I ran my original 62 Corvair
at 1\4 lash for over 220k miles With original style lifters, which have
a wider adjustment range available due to design.

In essence, the reason for the difference is in lifter design. In both
cases, the respective turns in puts the lifter within its operating
range.

I have adjusted valves cold, and I have adjusted valves running, and
the only sure way to get it right is to do your best job cold, start
the engine and adjust them running. That is the only sure way of
knowing what the lash is.

Hi,

I am helping a friend do a tune up and O ring  reseal on a 1967 4 door PG
110. By all appearances the engine appears to be stock and if I’m right it
probably still has the original Corvair lifters installed.

Given that what do I use for the lifter adjustment beyond zero leash? Do I
use Bob Helt’s ½ turn or the recommendation from the shop manual?



Thanks,

Bob
