CHAPTER 4. GENERAL VALVE INFORMATION,

CYLINDER HEAD AND BREATHER ASSEMBLY

SECTION 1. GENERAL VALVE INFORMATION

Adjusting valves for 8 horsepower and larger engines
(except valve-in-head engines)

Intake valve gap .010, (.254 mm) exhaust valve gap
.020, (.508 mm) set when engine is cold. Rotate
the engine to Top Dead Center of the compression
stroke, this will assure that the lifter is not raised
by the compression relief pin. Valve stem ends must
be ground flat when adjusting valve gap. An uneven
or concave end can cause abnormal wear to the
valve train.

The outside of the valve stem guide also guides
the valve spring. A valve spring cap is used only on
the bottom of the spring. A pin through the valve
stem retains the spring.

Use a step type reamer to enlarge valve guides if
worn. Oversize valves are 1/32'’ (.787 mm) larger
in diameter than standard. (For oversize reamer,
Consult Chapter 11).

Do not enlarge the valve lifter guide, lifters with
oversize stems are not available.

ADJUSTING VALVES ON OVERHEAD VALVE
ENGINES. Remove the breather and top half of the
valve cover. Rotate the engine to Top Dead Center
of the compression stroke. Adjust the exhaust valve
to .010 (.254 mm) and .005 (.127 mm) for the intake
valve.

Assure that the locknut is loosened before attempting
to turn adjusting screw. After the locknut is loosened,
turn the adjusting screw with an open end wrench.
Turn adjusting screw clockwise to decrease clearance
and counterclockwise to increase clearance.

TURN ADJUSTING SCREW: CLOCKWISE TO
DECREASE LASH, COUNTERCLOCKWISE TO
INCREASE LASH.

VALVES. Valves must be in good condition, properly
sealing and the proper gap must be maintained for
full power, easy starting and efficient operation.

VALVE REMOVAL On 8 H.P. and Larger (except
valve overhead engines). To remove valves, raise
the lower valve spring caps, while holding the valve
head tightly against the seat, and remove pin.
