> Chad > There is a method to adjust the valves without the motor running. Probably not quite as accurate for a hi performance motor, but for most near stock applications it works fine. The procedure is here: http://www.chevelles.com/techref/ftecref17.html You will find it linked here: http://www.chevelles.com/techref/index.html Lots of good tech stuff that may help you become more familiar with a chevelle. I have used the valve adjustment method many times and never had a problem. > rick > ---------- "Chad Playso" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Message Is that all the things you have to do when starting up a brand new motor?

It would be nice if it was really a half hour - wouldn't it? Don't you have to take off the covers for the valves and check the valves when the engines running? my dad said he had to do that with his impala SS when he blew up the 327 and swapped in the 283. and he said that you took off the valve covers and check the valves beating up and down and listen (or whatever it is) for errors...is this true? > > Have Fun, > > Chad > > > > > rick schaefer > 72 El camino > http://www.endrud.net/elcamino/rick1972elky.html > ACES #00140 > Team Chevelle #00038 > > > ----------------------------------------------------- > To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html > To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
