So I am about done with the Pumpkn, for now. And before I parked it cause of suspension damage, the engine was poping and would hardly run! The last thing on my list was to adjust the valves, or so I thought!
Adjusting the valves on a A12, A14, A15, ect.
First you remove your spark plugs, making sure to remember what wire goes where!
Then remove any Vacuum lines and other stuff that is in the way of removing the Valve cover!
Remove Valve Cover!
Inspect the ar-What The Fuck?
OK Shit, remove broken rocker assembly!
Grab Old Head out of storage and remove rocker assembly!
Wipe down the area where the rocker assembly bolts to the head and put on rocker assembly!
Make sure that the rockers are seated in the push rods before tightening the bolts!
Look in the manual for the Valve adjusting Sequence!
And the Gap!
With the #8 valve all the way down/open you adjust valve #1!
Use a screw driver to adjust the gap, after loosening the lock nut. After its at a proper gap, hold the adjuster with a screwdriver whyle you lock down the nut! Dont be shy, they need to be tight!
Now there is usually a cold and hot adjustment, so once you get it back together... You will need to do it all over again!
Happy Wrenching!
