valvle tune on a Super C

Scott Blanchard · Apr 8, 2013

I looked all through the internet to find out the procedure to tune my valves after a motor job on my Super C. It made is sound like I could rotate my front piston to TDC on the compression stoke, then .014 clearance on both valves of the 1 and 3 piston. Then rotate to the compression stroke of #2 and adjust all valves of 2 and 4. When I did this the exhaust valve of both 3 and four seemed way off. (I turned it over a few times by hand.) I went back and adjusted them back on each individual cylinder's compression stroke. It starts and sounds right but i am worried I'm going to burn a valve. Am I way off? Thanks in advance

On the compression on each cylinder will do fine. All is well. Jim

Thanks, I'll put her to work then.

It is just for future reference at this point.

Put engine on #1 TDC compression and adjust valves 1,2,3 and 5 from the front. Give the engine 1 fulll revolution and adjust valves 4, 6, 7 and 8.

Do the adjusting as Jim suggested. Hal

I think they are both named Jim?

I forgot about that, I should've said Jim Becker.

Both Jims are correct. Either method will result in properly adjusted valves.

The important part is to adjust the valves when they are fully CLOSED.
