i am the chief mech on SWMBO 's truck still not positive engine is maybe a 230 or 250 I-6 . want to set valves so will Deve's procedure work the same or what? also what is it for intake and exhaust?
Valve adjustment I think the newer engines have hydraulic valves which are easy. You just have to have good hearing to tell which are clacking.
Like the man said , those thinwall engines all have hydraulic valves , change the oil & filter , warm it up fully , set idle speed to 1,000 RPMs , remove rockerbox and loosen each ball nut until you hear it begin to click , tighten up only enough to stop the click then move onto the next one . if any cylinder clicks until it begins to miss , loosen it back until it runs again them make a note and move on to the next valve . Sometimes ATF or other " Snake Oil " will loosen up a gummy old lifter , I prefer replacing them all when one collapses .
