I have had this problem ever since a rebuild several years ago. If I
adjust my valves to proper settings when hot, ie. .008 - in and .012 - ex
I get excessive noise from one of my valves. I resorted to using a hose as
a stethescope and ran the engin without the valve cover until I pinpointed
the noise to, I thought #3 exhause. So I adjusted it tighter until the
noise subsided to a reasonable amount.
Yesterday I decided it was time to do a complete tuse and readjusted my
valves to all proper settings. Again the noise is back. Rather than just
adjust the valves to an unacceptably tight setting, I thought I would ask
the group if anyone else has had this malady. And, does anyone have any
suggestions as to what may be causing the problem.
I would really rather not pull the head, at least until the snow flys, but
would like to have the use of the car until then, if possible. I have a
feeling that it is a miss cut valve(some were replaced at rebuild) or
rocker pad worn or sometning like that.
Thanks in advance for the help.
