ok.........

i am going to be swapping heads on my 305 in the very near future

i need to know how to set the valve lash.........
i kinda know how to do it, but i do need it spelled out for me

also, when removing the old heads, should i loosen the bolts in any particular order?

 

Good luck and here's a link that might help clear up any questions. If you're using non roller rockers just ignore the things that only apply to roller rockers. If you have any more questions just ask.IROCZONE valve adjustment
When you open the link just scroll down to where it says upgrading your roller rockers and click the link.

 

When you're breaking the bolts loose, start with the bolt farthest forward, then go in a clockwise pattern working your way inward towards the center bolts.

In other words, do the far foward bolt, then the one directly under it, then go to the other end of the head and do the lower one then the one right above it. Then continue around in a "circle".

That mess is to prevent warping the head. The actual order of bolts isn't all that critical as long as you loosen from outside to inside, and tighten from inside to outside.

Also, when you tighten them down, you're not going to tighten them down to torque spec all at once.. You'll go halfway on all the bolts first, then go over them all again the rest of the way.

What's your problem there hero? A guy posts an engine question on an engine board and you're going to flame him, and tell him to read the manual? Maybe he doesn't have a manual. If you don't have anything constructive or helpful to say stay off the board you mental giant.

 

I just checked out a few of your other posts. It looks like you don't do anything but run your damn mouth. Don't you know how to say anything except "you some bitch"? I also noticed that on your profile you didn't include the year in your birthday. That's probably because you're some little 14 or 15 year old without a car or a shred of mechanical knowledge. Not to mention that you don't have anything better to do that sit around and give people a bunch of **** on message boards. If it were up to me you'd be banned. You have been reported to a moderator. There's no room for this here. All of us come to this board to ask questions, share advice and BS a little. Sometimes we get carried away, but you do nothing but flame.

 

not this ******* again.....................he keeps registering and we keep banning him


JUST IGNORE WHATEVER HE SAYS BECAUSE HE WILL BE BANNED AGAIN

 

This troll has just felt the power of the Dark Side....
