John, I removed the rocker arms and torqued the 4 bottom bolts on each head from 25 ft-lbs to 40 ft-lbs (they were a little loose) and then reinstalled the rocker arms in the exact place where they were removed from. I think what happend was the head gasket was compressed enough so that the valves wont seat and create enough compression. What do you think? If this is the case I assume that I need to re-adjust all of the valves. If so How do I find Top-Dead-Center. I have the Bentley manual so I'll follow that for adjusting. If you can please call me. Anyone ! Cell Phone (916) 541-3045 Thanks, Blake Heinlein Sacramento, CA -Right now stuck in Chico, CA |
