Thank you! I used to be a phys Ed teacher. Not sure there’s a correlation. 😆 but sometimes I do get mad and tell my Jeep to take a lap! it never listens. Haha!
@@redeyecafegarage7484 I've recently used the "opposing valve" method. Doing the intake and exhaust valves separately. I was just curious if there was another potentially faster way.
Am I insane but can you just count up from the number 1 valve then down from the number 8 valve? If the number 3 valve is up, just count down 3 from the number 8 valve?
There are many different ways you can do this. This way makes the it fool proof. So… for most people this is the safe way to do it. You will find that if you take short cuts you will end up adjusting valves that are still touching the cam and you’ll be running like crap in no time. But to each his own haha!
Hi Seth, Great video, thanks very much. Quick question regarding the tappet clearance. You mentioned 0.014" for the L134. But I'm checking the Service Manual and it's calling for 0.016" (in Section D, page 55) instead. Am I reading this wrong? Or is 14-16 thousands all within tolerance? Best regards, Dan
Some heads will list the specifications. All will be somewhere between 014-016. The factory services manual calls for .014 I have found .016 often leads to a noisy ticking engine. I always do .014
On my L134 cylinder 4 is topping out at a compression of 75 psi, while cylinders 1-3 are all consistent at 90-100. Is this indicative of a tight valve? Spark plugs looked good and as far as I can tell there’s no coolant in the oil or anything that would suggest to be that the head gasket has failed
Adjust the valves and re-check the compression. If the valves are adjusted properly and one cylinder has low compression it could be the valve surfaces are not sealing properly or there’s a problem with the rings.
Wait....4 from 9 isnt 6, 4 from 9 is 5. Your first example is #5 therefore you should be counting the last valve to the right as #8, not #9. 9 is an imaginary valve in this equation.
Well, it surely works, its just the math part that made me shake my head 😁. I had to dig to find someone that explained it as I do it th-cam.com/video/hkeTbhG_PRI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fiPVVbyCFj1sUa3x
Have you ever been an instructor? Just seems so natural and effortless

Very informative video 👍
Glad your channel exists. Just picked up a 47 CJ2a tonight, looking forward to fixing it up and getting it out on the trail!
Awesome! Thank you! Have fun!!
Awesome segment today!! Learned a bunch!! Now..off to practice this lesson!!
C ya on the next
video!!
🤙🐺🧙♂️🦊👍
Awesome! Im sure you’ll do a great job! Thanks for watching!
Every time you post a video I realize I need more tools. 😀
You can never have too many tools!
Thanks for these videos- just finished a valve adjustment using this method. Made it quick and simple 👍
Excellent!! 😎 glad to hear it!!
That’s really cool I have a few 8N Ford tractors that will come in handy!😀🇨🇦
Just used your video to adjust the valves in WildBlue Willys block.... a 1000 thanks...
Excellent! It brings me great joy to know it helped someone.
🙂 Super video 👍🙂
Thank you very much!
Does this "Magic 9" method work on the F-Head. Obviously adjusting the intake valves from the rocker.
The f-head is a little different. I’ll have to do a separate video for that.

Neat video 👍
Thanks 👍
Can you show us how to do this on a 13B?
Yes that’s my next video haha😅
Are you doing that cold?
Yessir. Always cold as per the factory service manual. 👍

@@redeyecafegarage7484 Got it thanks. Will go with 0.014, my CJ2A already makes enough noise as it is. =) Thanks again!

@@redeyecafegarage7484 thanks man gunna do that this weekend and just crush a ton of beer
Dumb question, is the oil drained?
You do not have to drain the oil for this. There will be a little oil in the lifter valley but it won’t cause any problems.
Hi,i think that's the same like the Willys Mb🤔
Yes it’s the same engine only chain drive. But that won’t effect this procedure
Estaria bueno q sea en español
En ingles o español es facil.

No, you may have to watch the video again and you’ll see how its counted.
