Volkswagen Vanagon Revival | Rocker Assembly and Valve Adjustment | 1.9 WaterBoxer Rebuild | Ep13

GoWesty makes some beautify parts and the cylinder heads are most definitely my favorite one. It would be an absolute shame if I destroyed them due to incorrect adjustment of the rocker assembly .
In this episode I show you the tools and methods I used to ensure these very expensive heads last !
Check it out !

Buen día, según el manual de reparación Bentley esos se ajustan sin calibrador, los aprietas hasta que toquen la válvula y después los giras dos vueltas más para que queden ajustados.

this is not how you do hydraulic lifters on a VW

[@WeRoamtheUnknown]

You are correct, I did not remove the lifters . I removed the pushrods , lashing adjustment screws and set the valve lift.

This is not how you set valve clearances’ on a WBX! Do not follow this tutorial!

[@WeRoamtheUnknown]

How do you do it ? What did I do incorrectly?
Ps , over 10k miles on the rebuild and have zero issues .

Hydraulic tappets are designed to have preload so there is no free play from the cam - tappet - pushrod - rocker - valve to eliminate wear.. the way you have adjusted them there will be play until the engine warms up and the gap may close or may not.. so yes your engine will run no problem as the valves are closing fully but there will definitely be excess wear in the tappets and cams
