Valve Adjustment question...which one is the intake or exhaust..

[jakeslim]

Ok, I need to double check my valve adjustment after changing heads. Below is the procedure to adjust but I'm not
sure which is the intake for #1. Lets say I'm facing the engine from front, is the closest lifter to me the intake?

*****

with #1 cylinder Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #6 Intake Valve
with #8 cylinder Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #5 Intake Valve
with #4 cylinder Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #7 Intake Valve
with #3 cylinder Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #2 Intake Valve
with #6 cylinder Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #1 Intake Valve
with #5 cylinder Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #8 Intake Valve
with #7 cylinder Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #4 Intake Valve
with #2 cylinder Intake Valve at full valve lift .... Adjust #3 Intake Valve

Just look at your exhaust manifold. You can plainly see which vavles lines up with it.
good luck /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif

Both sides, back to front or front to back, the same. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

i found it easier to have someone bump the starter until both valves on #1 were closed, then bump it again to make sure they don't move, then do those, then repeat for 357 then 2468

yeah, I got it done. I had my girlfriend bump the motor while I followed the pattern to tighten above. Before I put the intake back on, I bumped it to #1 TDC so life remains easier /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

thanks for all the help
