292 questions
I have a 292 which I am currently doing the valves on. Exhaust valves on cylinders 2,3,6,7 were in pretty rough shape. Is this a common problem with these motors? What should the valve timing be set at when I put it back together? Assuming valve backlash should be .019 when hot, what would be a good initial cold setting for intake & exhaust valve backlash?
Thanks

My book says, .020 cold. Set No. 1 at TDC and draw a chalk line dividing your damper in half. Then divide into quarters. With No. 1 at TDC set No. 1, 4, 5 Exh. and No. 1, 2, 7 intake. Rotate engine by hand 180 deg. and set No. 6 and 8 exh. then set No. 4 and 5 intake. Rotate 270 degrees from 180 degrees (No. 3 at TDC) set No. 2,3,7 exh. and 3,6,8 intake.
If it helps mark No. 1 TDC (A), 180 Degrees (B), and while facing damper 270 deg. from 180 (C) would 90 deg. from No. 1 TDC on the left of damper.
