bheinen74 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 hydro ea81 (1985+ needs no adjust) the valves are self adjusting, sticker on the valve cover says "warning do not adjust valves" this is one reason why the price value of the 85+ ea81 is higher than older, as the price should be, cause you save on maintenance bh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 hydro ea81 (1985+ needs no adjust) the valves are self adjusting, sticker on the valve cover says "warning do not adjust valves" this is one reason why the price value of the 85+ ea81 is higher than older, as the price should be, cause you save on maintenance bh If you have removed heads, you will need to do an initial adjustment of the lifters, before starting the engine. I've attached the adjustment procedure from a FSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Intake rocker to valve stem gap is .25mm and exhaust is .35mm. A 6mm and 12mm spanner plus feeler gauges is all thats needed once the rocker covers are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
