Maintenance / DZ 302 Timing Valve Question...
« on: June 30, 2008, 03:22:20 AM »
I am helping a friend of mine set the valves in his '69 Camaro. I read the article here http://www.camaros.org/302valves.shtml which describes in great detail how it is done. However, this is where trouble comes into paradise for us...

You can adjust two valves at each 90-degree rotation point, starting at cylinder #1 TDC and turning the crank 90 degrees at a time, seven times (first measure and mark your balancer at 90-degree intervals from TDC).

Is the "Seven times" step a misprint? Case we tried it two ways, and neither is correct when we double check it. here is what we tried...

1) We rotate the balancer at 90 deg intervals 7 times for each set of valve adjustments.

2) We rotate the balancer at 90 deg 7 times the first time, and then only 90 deg each time after that.

But I am thinking that the quote needs to be read...

And that we set it TDC and adjust the first two valves, then rotate it 90 deg for each set of adjustments thereafter.


Now, am I a fool? Cause the other ways I tried did not work.


Thank you and Great site BTW.
