I could,t find any instructions on adjusting the Valves on a Herculeas motor. Are they adjustable and do you have to adjust them often? Reason I ask, sounds like I can hear one tapping close to the rear of the engine while idleing.<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_help.gif" alt="Help">

i need to adjust my valves too as soon as i get the rocker assembly back on, i dont know what the procedure is but i did find
"valve clearance (cold)"
intake: .010
exhaust: .025
hope this helps, all I need to know now is how to position the crankshaft for each piston.

Well starting from scratch after a rebuild, Does the haromonic balancer have different marks around it, besides the TDC mark? I know how to do a chevy v8 starting from scratch with a mechnical cam but i'm sure it wont be anything like a diesel.

If there are marks on the balancer every 60 degs.? Heck I dont even know how to get TDC on a Diesel. Good Luck, which manual would have this info in it????<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile">

thanks for the lash info, all I need to do now is locate a new valve cover gasket. <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile">
