Thank's for the help! thought I was the only one. I've spent countless hours trying to master this task. I think I've got it perfect,remove those half covers clean-up the mess, polish those finned alum covers, go for a test run and boom one or two tick at some rpm.I then start over and at idle, find a few more ticking. After tweaking I test it again. This time same thing or the beast of a motor shutters at idle!!Has anyone tried colapsing the lifter with a tool and giving it say 60 thou. Thought I read it in a book one time. The motor is fresh ,but I am gettin ' some oil down the guides.Could build up on the valves affect valve noise? Is there any thing better than standard seals? I may have run a couple of miles with the valves too tight. Despite these problems FE's are # 1 in my book and I refuse to give up DOC |
