Mechanical Valve Lifter Adjustment

NOTE: Valve clearance can be adjusted either hot or cold. Clearance is the same for both intake valve and exhaust valve.

Bring No. 1 piston to top dead center on compression stroke, and adjust No. 1, 2, 3 and 5 as counted from front. Then bring No. 4 piston to top dead center on compression stroke and adjust No. 4, 6 and 7 valves. Two gauges should be used, a "Go" gauge of 0.016" (.40 mm) and a "No-Go" gauge of 0.018" (.45 mm). Clearance should be adjusted so that thinnest gauge can easily be inserted between valve and rocker arm, while thicker gauge will not enter.
