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.

  • How do I determine ...

    How do I determine if my lifters are bad or the rocker arms need ajusting? The enginer is a 2.9L V six 200k mile and nothing has been done to the engine. I hear some ticking sometimes when the engine is cold then it goes away. It is expecially bad if the truck has not been run for a few days. The oil pressure is OK and the lifters are hydolic. I put some heavier oil in the engine and seems to help. Will I need to adjust the rockers after lifter replace?

  • you have a ...

    you have a hydraulic lifter valve train.

    Spin your pushrods until you can't spin them freely anymore. If you have an 86 or newer Trans-am you will have a roller cam and roller rockers, so valve train damage wont be an issue, since the goverment has taken the old ZDDP levels of lubricant out for the old Flat tappet cams.

    if I were you and I had a stock L98 out of a 86+ Trans am. I'd look for an LT1 cam and headers.

    just my .02

  • The lash adjustment ...

    The lash adjustment method shown here is the only way to cover all bases with multiple make of engines. A GM manual may only apply to a select number of years and cam specs using the #1 TDC and #6 TDC lash adjust method. Our DVDs consider all engine makes and types (including 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder models) and shows a valve lash method that can be used for all engine types.
    For many GM blocks though, the #1-#6 method works well.

  • How about using the ...

    How about using the GM nethod of #1 at TDC compression stroke and adjust half the valves and then #6 at TDC compression stoke and adjust the other half? As listed in the GM factory service manual. This works well and a lot less trouble.
