Like the title says. Not my first time doing an adjustment, just first time on the s. I did set it to a tighter tolerance but within spec. Any suggestions before I take it apart and redo it?
Thanks

 

You must have changed something. I always shoot for exactly mid-spec when doing adjustments. Are you positive that the procedure was followed regarding TDC on cyl 1,3,4,2? A few of the valves on the F20/22 are more difficult to get a feeler gauge into than others.

Sounds silly but check:

- Mixed up intake/exhaust valves specs
- Tool or piece of tool left in engine
- Accuracy of feeler gauge/ two gauge blades stuck together (mine are typically very oily and stick)
- Make sure that you check the clearance after everything is tightened down before moving on.

Generally, chatter = too loose, and if its far too tight the engine will not run.

 

#1 turn 180 #3 turn 180 crank #4 then #2
Actually set the exhaust to .010" and intake to .008". I think that's actually tight compared to what the Decal on the hood says. Ill fix tomorrow, prolly just one lash spec out.

 

Also i cant stress enough that the drag feel on the s2k is not like other engines. It should always been done by or with someone who has experience with these motors.

 

Was the engine completely cooled before adjusting the valves?
