I have a 1990 Bronco 2 4x4 and it has a 2.9 V-6 engine and I was wanting to see if anyone could tell me how to adjust the valves on this engine or give me some information on where I can find out how to adjust the valves....Any help would be appreciated !!!!!!

 

check out autozone.com they have a guide for you there on their help page.

 

I've never gotten the answer to this. I can only tell you information that I've collected over time on the issue. This could be completely wrong btw.

You need to set the lifters to 0-lash. You will probably need a 0-lash tool. Make sure the value you're adjusting is all the way closed. Once 0-lash is found, turn 1.5 turns.

When I rebuilt my engine I was in the same boat. I ended up just equally tightening each one until it was quiet. Made a big mess of oil. I think you'll have better results with the procedure above.

A 2.9 uses hydraulics. Are you adjusting after a reassembly or just think they need adjustment, which they shouldn't?

 

The adjustment on the valves on this 2.9 engine is being done after a rebuild.
