Adjust Valve Clearance QUICK -N- EASY 3 Feeler Gauge Method
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Don't worry about getting the engine to TDC. Use my method and you'll be done in minutes. Works on ATVs, Mowers, Tractors, Go Karts or any other engine with valves.
Feeler Gauges: amzn.to/2Qntrje
Method:
Watch the rocker arms and wait until one valve is about 1/2 compressed (exact not super crucial). The other valve will be ready to accept adjustment. This is true with any 4 stroke engine.

That dog is awesome.
Hey Thanks.
Great tip. What a good dog. You already bought her a box so she was going to get her treat either way.
True.
You can buy a feeler guage that’s bent on the end.
Yes. They are available at most automotive parts stores.
I think I have around 20sets, from 12" long to stubby and few bent head sets. This set though for some reason is my favorite and the one I always grab.
Your dog is very well trained
Hey Thanks.
Would you trust Harbor Freight feeler gauges for this job? Always mixed reviews about how accurate they are
I would. Valve clearance isn't going to make a difference a thousandth either way.
My dog, the nugget on the dash would be there, but bags on the floor would be ripped to shreds.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience free of charge!
I forgot to tell her not to touch the bag of beef jerky the other day. I ran into the post office for 60 seconds and it was gone when I got back.
lol
This is a good method. Awhile back for some reason I was having an issue adjusting valves on a Tecumseh engine.
To make sure I had it just right this is what I did. Good demonstration on how to do it .👌
Awesome.
What is a sign that the valves need to be adjusted
Rattling to loose
Dead cylinder to tight
If everything else is good.
This one was pinging/preigniting when you went from an idle to full throttle. So sounded like a knocking. The valves were so loose, they stay closed longer and increase the compression. Generally you will feel it harder to pull start and it will be down on power.
That's the same way I do it. Either way I always enjoy your videos seeing what your are up to! Chicken nugget, well trained doggie!
Thanks 👍
Cool
Hey Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
I’ve only done this a couple of times and spent a lot of time adjusting then checking over and over again. I like your 3 gauge method and will use it next time. Thanks for another great tip!
Thanks for watching.
You are an encyclopedia my man!
Hey Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Brian from Ma.Great tip realy and why was eight afraid of seven because 7 8 9 lol corney finaly made a rattle can mixer for drill ima kickin my self for not making sooner your dog is kool your a awesome Guardian to that Dog anywho THANKS Besafe
Gotta bend a 45° on those tips and your 0.008 will feel a lot less drag. I can see how the very tip is dragging as they bend and give a bit of a false reading.
Does it gage the same on a 7horse power pulsar generated 3500 watt
Great idea with the feeler gauge technique.
My dogs would have eaten the nugget on the dash and everything in the bags on the floor, your dog behaves better than my teenage kids🙄
Kudos to you brother.
I forgot to tell her not to touch the bag of beef jerky the other day. I ran into the post office for 60 seconds and it was gone when I got back.
@@sixtyfiveford haha.
Oh well she's only human😜
Great tips with the valve adjusting technique. Love the dog.
Thanks for watching.
Make room by unplugging the sparkplug wire.
Excellent method and technique. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
8 thou sounds a bit much 🤔🤔🤔 on a little lawnmower
I find it interesting you trust the dog to not eat a nugget but not to protect your car lol
Found the side wall of a Natural Light can is 4 thousand, I can work from there. All the best!
Good to know!
That's a great explanation of the tolerances bud. Thank you
Hey Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
@@sixtyfiveford I honestly dig what you share and the fact that it's all stuff I do in my life makes it that much more useful. Thanks Sir
Will try but thing this is a great way to set valves
Great tip!
Thanks for watching!
I only watch to see the dog !!!! JK.
Good info.
I'm about to give up on my 49CCP scooter no start condition.
You can do it!
Hey I have an Idea in my head on making a car lift / jack made from a air bag like off a semi truck made with a safety pin when you get to the right height You would be better at making one than I could Also dreaming of a floor jack converted using an air shock or a pair of them
I have plans sketched out to build exactly that. GoJak makes one, but it's not cheap.
thanks man, good video.
The puppers is learning. Good girl!
Hey Thanks.
What if the specification is 0.40mm? Do i go 0.35 and 0.45?
Exactly.
Thanks Moe I'll be doing this soon on a generator. Is the valve lash that critical on a small engine?
A few thousandths out and it'll make little difference but here I was around .006-.010 out and you can feel/hear a difference.
Great tip. Going to try that next time.👍
Hey Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Awesome for a Honda but try that on a Briggs, lol.
Yeah, I assume you mean a Flat/L Head. Yeah, grinding the valve stems is always fun. Seams like I always over shoot a little.
Get you a wooden dowel and a long, square drive screw, sink the thread of the screw into the dowel longways , back it back out, super glue the hole, and screw it back and and now you have a wooden handle valve adjustment tool. I use a tool exactly as described for my motorcycle
You're such a good Dog Father! Great tip, I will use your method next time I adjust the valves on my little Honda TRX90! Question: If you wanted to get a little more performance, could you set the valve clearance a few thousandths tighter??
Excellent tutorial. I think this is referred to the “go, no-go method.
That’s a very good dog by the way
Great Video....
Thanks for handy lesson. But man! You raised her like the smart girl she is. That was freakin' amazing!
some little motor s you have to set them both at the same time
Nope. Why? Because the built in compression release cam hump that doesn't disengage until about a thousand RPMs. It holds open the exhaust around 10-20 thousandths at TDC.
Leave the feeler gauge in with slight tension, lock it down then Remove. Bam perfect every time.
Great video and tip, thanks, Moe!
Ginger passed the test and won a whole box of nuggets, she's an awesome dog for sure!
I'd have bet she wouldn't be able to stand it, but she sure fooled me. Go, Ginger!
It's the Goldilocks method:if one up is too tight and one down is too loose then it must be just right. Brilliant!
Iooks like a winner, going to tackle a 250 kZ thanks TANK
Good tech
Clever!
What!!? I'm first? Great video. That is exactly the same way I adjusted the valves on the motors I assembled while working at the Harley Davidson plant.
Curious, did any of those Harleys have compression release built into the cam?
@@sixtyfiveford only on the high compression VROD motors.
@@sixtyfiveford but then again, I can only speak for the VROD motor. Thats what we built here. All the other motors were assembled in capital drive.
Pretty cool you got to be an engine assembler tech at the Harley Plant!
@@AtimatikArmy used to. But they shut our plant down in 2019.
Smart dog! 👍 Trained really well 👏 very cool 👌
Great idea, I will give this a try. Thank you.
My eyes are getting so bad they need to start making feeler gauges bigger.😂😂😂😳😂
That's a good one!
@@sixtyfiveford 😂 thanks
of all your great ideas, this is the greatest. so simple.
It was just a suggestion. I didn’t mean to be an a-hole. I enjoy your videos. Thank you.
I do have bent ones but this set is my favorite.
Great video as well 👍 thanks for the tip. Just did that adjustment and no more whip back from the pull cord when starting. You the man.
Nothing worse the pull cord whipping out of your fingers.
LOVE your Dog........
Hey Thanks.
👍for the valve lash tip, 👍👍for the best four-legged TH-camr
Thanks 👍
im deff. going to try that on my stand-by gen. just cant seem to get it right it's eather to loose or to tight!!!! thanks for sharing !!!!!
Hey Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Great tip, thanks
Hey Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
great demo....cheers
The old go no go explained and shown.
Exactly, that's basically what Moe was doing.
@@AtimatikArmy Funny how oid is reborn, and is and new again
GOOD tip on the valve setting but Gingers are right on the money plus a hot plug in the bargain! THANKS, Buddy and GBWYall!
Hey Thanks.
@@sixtyfiveford Likewise!
Hell Yeah ! Simple technique you showed - perfect. Thanks man - great way to get it super close. Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching.
@@sixtyfiveford you keep producing these cool little tidbits and I’ll be watching long term - as will a shit ton of others !!
Slick trick! Thanks Moe.
Thanks George.
Nice.
Thanks!
Hey Moe. I never worry about TDC like some people. When a valve is closed, it's closed. Just Picked up a mint non running Briggs powered Craftsman tractor for $50. Set the valve lash and sold it for $300. Gonna help pay for a new to me South Bend lathe;-]
You have to love simple fixes/flips.
Great lesson! Thank you. 👍
Thanks man
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Man.
very inneresting
Hey Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Just a small caveat that people might not be aware of. This method is the best way to do the clearances, but bear in mind that the cam has a base circle and clearance ramps from the base circle to the start of the lobes. Do not set lash while you're on a clearance ramp. You must be truly on the base circle for proper clearance.
Very true.
So top dead center, or at least close to it??
@@AtimatikArmy Since the cam rotates at half the crank speed, you have 2 TDCs. One is just beyond plug firing and the other is at the exhaust/intake overlap. Just wiggle both rockers to see which TDC you're at or use a dial gauge to find the base circles of each valve.
I like the tip.
Hey Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Excellent 👍
Thanks for watching.
