The only setting I remember on both my Spridgets and my brother's Mini was .012 cold... and my racing Bugeye also requires .012 (setting recommended by Schnei; /html/spridgets/2004-04/msg00651.html (7,116 bytes)

Before removal, I checked the valves and they were at .025 cold. Might be a little wide. I was going to start at .019 or less until it warms up, then reset.

Since what you are really trying to adjust is the vertical free motion on the pushrod side (rather hard to measure), the clearance on the val; /html/spridgets/2004-04/msg00655.html (7,282 bytes)
5. Re: valve lash (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 13:58:26 +0100; I am not sure I understand. If one measures clearance between the valve stem and the rocker pad then why should this clearance measurement be different for a 1.5:1 rocker. It does vary with differen; /html/spridgets/2004-04/msg00656.html (8,146 bytes)
6. Re: valve lash (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 08:10:20 -0500; Guy, Is there such a thing as "normal" any more? Sometimes I wonder. The point is that you ARE measuring clearance between the valve stem and the rocker pad because that is the only point where you; /html/spridgets/2004-04/msg00657.html (8,118 bytes)
7. Re: valve lash (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 10:21:53 -0500; No, it isn't measuring the actual cam clearance. It is, however, a convenient place to measure. Therefore, the numbers that are published for this set the correct clearance for the cam, ASSUMING that; /html/spridgets/2004-04/msg00665.html (8,347 bytes)
8. Re: valve lash (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 16:31:25 +0100; Well that makes sense. Just as the lift of the valve is altered by the different rocker ratio, then so will be the "lost movement" in the clearance. Interesting discussion!

10. Valve lash (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 09:06:05 -0500; That old Chevy probably had hydraulic lifters. Tighten 3/4 turn or so after the clacking stops. I think you need the feeler to get solid lifter clearances right. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Che; /html/spridgets/2001-06/msg00467.html (6,951 bytes)
11. Re: Valve lash (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 08:07:44 -0700; I well remember setting valves on cars with the motor warmed up and idling.

Valve Lash (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 17:56:55 -0000 FILETIME=[E74BA4B0:01C0F29F]; The reason that the valves still sound noisy after a proper adjustment is that the rocker arm end that touches on the valve stem has had a small recess pounded into it after many years of use.

13. Re: Valve lash (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 19:46:27 -0400; Derf is correct. My first setting of hydraulic lifters was an expensive learning session.

No need for a feeler gauge and it takes the recess in the rocker face into account and makes the correct valve adjustment.
