ajslacker Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I have an 85 brat that I bought a gasket kit for. When I replace the head gaskets I accidentally adjusted one of the valves. Total stupidity on my part but nothing I can do about it now. I tried to fix it by using the adjustments . 01 for the intake and .014 for the exhaust. I didn't realize at the time that mine wasn't the solid lifters but the hydraulic ones. I know now they're the hydraulic ones because they have the little locks for the nuts. Now that the engine is back together and ready to start it runs terribly and ticks. I haven't ran it more than 30 seconds because I figured what I did. So my question is what do I adjust the valves to for the hydraulic ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajslacker Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 I did before I posted, but all the posts were people adjusting them by choice and all the replies were "don't adjust them they shouldn't ever need it." I'll keep looking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
