Basic Engine Building DVD - Chapter 49: Valve Lash Adjustment

You should have done this previously in the "Pre-Assembly" section. This time it's for real. You want to leave as much of the internal lubrication in place as possible. If you follow the firing order of your motor, you'll only have to turn the crankshaft one complete rotation. This section has some of the more detailed 3D models to show you the internals of a working motor.

BoxWrench.net is a community and resource designed for automotive enthusiasts. The Basic Engine Building DVD is over three hours of engine building that covers everything from removal and disassembly to final assembly and engine start-up. This is the ultimate DVD for any home mechanic or engine enthusiast that wants to see a complete rebuild from Teardown to Start-Up. This video can be used to learn how to work on almost any type of internal combustion engine including V8, V6, Straight 8, in-line 6 and even 4 cylinder engines. All of the interactive features and menus will not work over YouTube.

This video is great for people interested in car repair, car care, and restoration. As well as hot rods, muscle cars, performance parts, and boosting horsepower. It can also help you to gain knowledge for increasing fuel economy, how to lower your emissions, and covers preventative maintenance to avoid little things like overheating.

hey great video, im just wondering how to get the zero lash with both valves closed with the intake manifold on without being able to see the lifters. Im guessing its aot harder to eyeball where the rockers are sitting? I just had one head done on a older chev 350. Not too sure.

[BoxWrench]

@lakeboy36111 This is only a short sample clip from a 3 hour DVD.

The full length version shows you how to adjust the lash when the intake is installed.

It's pretty simple. The pushrods are still going to be reachable just above the cylinder heads and below the rockers. You can roll them in your fingers there, instead of in the lifter valley.

my engine makes a clicking noise when cold, i think my valves need to be adjusted, what problems can occur if i dont adjust right away?

[BoxWrench]

@StealthNinjaX2 If you have hydraulic lifters, in the short term it will just be the annoyance of the chattering rockers and you're valves will be a couple thousandths of an inch shy of fully opening (but not always).

In the long term, you'll begin to wear out the matting surfaces of where the rockers meet the valves or where the cam lobes meet the valves... depending on what type of valve train design you have.

This video was very helpful as I am doing a complete rebuild on my very first egine unassisted.. Thanks

[jonnham]

I got this dvd from a mentor. It is a good one, but It does not offer any explaination of these components or what they do which is what I need. I think you should know something about automotive engines before hand. But it is a good dvd otherwise

[grkstd1967]

if u over tighten the valve by 1/4 turn will that affect the timing at all,,thanks

Didn't know youtube allowed commercials.

effects of engin change on the transmition? i changed my diesel 2400 engin with 2400 petrol engin but kept the transmission same .on my mitsubishi pajero 88 three door ..

@Psi4tsi Whoop, need to stop posting late at night. Sorry bout that. I have an OHV in the truck and an OHC in the car, and since I'm always working on both of 'em (and they both have misfiring cylinder(s)) I tend to switcheroo.

[Psi4tsi]

@SchizoFilms theres no pushrods in an OHC engine. The Camshaft itself is was opens the valves.
