VALVES- PLEASE HELP!!!!
61 f100 292 recently tried to adjust valves by hand as i was told through one of the post.
1. I need to know is there a correct way to adjust valves, I heard of a feeler gauge but never used one.. I've tried and tried to get them adjusted...either there too tight and the motor won't crank or there too loose and run like a diesel. also when it does run I hear a loud tapping sound it sound like its coming from the vacuum?
2. How reliable is a feeler gauge ? How do u adjust them with the gauge when the engine is cold (hopefully since it won't start)..
I would like to get this baby purring like a kitten by this weekend..
Thanks for your input and enjoy going through and reading the post...
