Hey Guys,
I am following the service manual on how to set the valve lash on my L6 and I have followed it by setting the distributor to the number one cylinder adjusting the proper valves (3/4 turn past the friction point) turned the engine over to get the distributor to the number 6 position and adjusted the proper valves.
The issue I have is after I have followed the above procedure and turned the engine over to get the distributor back to the number one cylinder the valves and pushrods are still somewhat loose.
Do I just adjust the valves once by this method or do I go back and forth setting the distributor to cylinder one and six until all of the play is gone?
Also should the pushrods still spin once I am done with the adjustment?
Hope this makes sense, Thanks
