    Valve Lash Adjustment

    Im going to attempt replacing my crank pulley as well as the lower spark plug tube o-rings. is there a special type of valve adjustment screwdriver i need? i c one here on amazon that says:
    Alltrade 648827 10-Millimeter 7-1/2-Inch Jam Nut Valve Adjustment Tool.

    will it do the job?

    you dont need a special tool. what i usually do is leave the feeler guage between the valve and rocker arm and keep measuring as i adjust and finally tighten.

    took me about 30 minutes yesterday.

          Did you have any trouble with the screw being stuck to the nut? I remember trying to do mine and the adj. screws were practically welded to the nuts.

            i havent had any problems with a 100k motor and even my 212k motor. you can try cracking them loose after you run the motor. just pop the valve cover and crack em loose.

              I can easily get the nut loose but then the screw turns with it. They're stuck together.

                which is why i ask about 'the tool'. the tool has a socket to hold the nut and a screwdriver-like object which projects through its shaft and will turn the screw, as the nut is held in place.

                  It will make it easier... but if you just hold a screw driver and tighten the nut w/ a 10 mm you should be fine.

                    Question...

                    What is the clearance for our motors? Int / Ext.

                    Are they all the same for all F22A1 / 4 / 6 ?

                    I just dont want to do mine as I hate fartin around with getting #1 on the power stroke. Is there a posting that covers doing this from start to finish?

                      .010 and .012" respectively.

                      i dont care what stroke it is on, i just make sure that im on the back of the camshaft lobe when im checking it. make sure the car is completely cool too.

                              There a picture of that special tool somewhere. Just search for it. Although you don't really need a special tool for you to do it...
