Checking the Valve Lash
Today I checked the valve lash on all 16 valves. Here are the results:
1 155 E 0.030
I 0.030
3 165 I 0.029
E 0.029
5 165 E 0.030
I 0.032
7 158 I 0.032
E 0.032
2 170 E 0.029
I 0.034
4 150 I 0.029
E 0.032
6 165 E 0.030
I 0.030
8 160 I 0.031
E 0.041
The exhaust valve lash on cylinder #8 seems really loose! Andy recommended setting the valve lash to 0.028 on all the intake valves and 0.030 on all the exhaust valves. I went ahead and did that. I am going to have to watch cylinder #8 and see if the exhaust valve gets loose again. That would indicate a busted adjuster.
