Good day guys, i hope you can help me....because am very confuse in regard of a valves adjustment on an engine that am re-sealing!!! Here is the deal, it all began when we thought (customer and me) i was working on a 2.0L 78 engine with hydro, along the way when the heads were out and i had to remove a lifter wile changing the pushrods tubes O-Ring, after many measurement: Valve diameter = 41mm intake / 34mm Exhaust Bore and Stoke = 93mm bore / 66mm for stroke Case = AW014863 Head # = 021-101-371S (still not sure of those number????) Anyway, to make a very long story short, wile i was almost done with this engine, it was time to do the valves as i know now that i have solid lifters (i know Vanagon lifter, i hope that Bus's hydro lifter are the same?????).... so like always, 006 on #1 and up to #2 but???????????????? Now that am on #2, intake valve on #1 as now a 1/8in gap????????? anyway, as i try to do all other valves and cylinder, i found that all valves are way to tight (like if this was hydro lifter - 1 turn in), so i do all the valves to 006 anyway... Here is my problem: as soon as i move to the next cylinder, the one before end up with a very loose valve (Mostly intake except for #2), that loose is at least 1/8in????? So i say to myself, something is really wrong here, so i double check the TDC on #1 (visual piston position, pulley position on "0" and distributor position on #1 and on notch) Everything is fine, i even check the cam lobe position though the lifter hole (looks fine to me but difficult to be sure) So i go to a 1.7 am bulding right now , the core is not close so i compare the lobe position with both engine, they looks OK to me, but am not sure!!!! My conclusion: Well, i have none! the only thing i can see is a wrong cam or a offset cam position....i don't know what to think..... Thank a million for any advices!!! Am lost here..... and very tired. Regards, Ben ps.: here is the engine project web page: http://www.benplace.com/type2_engine1.htm
