VALVE SYSTEM
Tappets and Guides
(8 Cylinder)
The tappets and guides can be removed without removing
the cylinder head. However, it is recommended that the
head be removed when two or more tappets are to be re-
placed.
Removal:
1. Remove cylinder head.
2. Remove R.H. front wheel and fender side dust shield.
3. Remove valve covers and breather pipe.
4. Use valve lifter and remove valve keepers, valves, and
springs.
5. Remove tappet guide clamp bolts, washers, clamps and
remove tappet and guide assemblies.
To Install, reverse the order of removal. Observe the
following points during reInstallation:
NOTE: Tappet guides must be accurately aligned with
cams on camshaft. Position of guides is controlled by the
guide clamps; the inner sides of which should be in full
contact with matching flat surfaces on front face of each
pair of tappet guides within .0015", Figure 42.
One method of obtaining alignment is to tighten clamp
nuts just less than snugly, then bump outer face of clamps
sharply inward using a wide piece of fiber or brass inter-
posed between the hammer and the clamps. This will tend
to jar the tappet guides into parallelism with clamps. When
clamps are tightened, it should not be possible to insert a
.002" feeler blade at any point between inner edge of
clamps and mating face of tappet guides.
Tappets and Guides
(6 Cylinder)
To remove valve tappets on the 6 cylinder engine, it is
necessary to remove the oil pan and camshaft. Perform
the operations under "Camshaft and Oil Pan Removal -
6 Cylinder".
Tappets for the 6 cylinder engines are furnished in
standard, .002", .004" and .010" oversizes.
Valve Tappet Adjustment
(6 & 8 Cylinder)
1. Remove R. H. Front Wheel.
2. Remove fender side shield with side shield extension.
3. Remove valve covers and breather pipe.
Adjust tappets as follows:
6 Cylinder 8 Cylinder
Intake - .010" hot Intake - .008" hot
Exhaust - .012" hot Exhaust - .010" hot
VALVES AND SEATS:
The valves seat directly in the cylinder block. (No valve
inserts are used.)
To remove the valves proceed as follows:
1. Drain cooling system.
2. Remove cylinder head. See "Cylinder Head Removal",
Pages. 12 and 13.
