A Matter Of Timing

The final step is to set the lifters. The easiest way to accomplish this is to treat each cylinder individually. Turn the engine over clockwise (from the front) and watch each rocker arm. When the exhaust valve just begins to open, you can adjust the intake rocker until all the clearance is eliminated. Then turn the adjuster an additional half turn. Once that is set, turn the engine over again until the intake rocker arm is almost closed. Then set the exhaust rocker just like you did with the intake, removing all clearance and then adding a half turn of preload. This is best done before you install the intake manifold since it makes it easy to look at the lifter and see when all clearance is removed. Now button up the rest of the engine and you’re ready to check out your new camshaft. View Related Article
