Re: Need help cc 98 gas
Look at the sticky called "bi-yearly maintenance". There's some good instructions in there.

Adjust the valves: (This is not necessary every tune up!)
It is important that you clean all tools you will be using thoroghly before you use then, engines do NOT like dirt. Make sure the engine is COLD, do not run it any before you do this procedure. A Gather Materials Needed: 1. 10mm socket and ratchet 2. fairly long screw driver (optional) or dowel rod (small) 3. pliers or Club Car adjuster tool 4. feelers gauge 5. 9mm wrench 6. spark plug socket and ratchet B Using the 10mm ratchet and socket, remove the two bolts holding the valve cover. C Remove the spark plug using the spark plug socket and ratchet D Using the long screw driver (if comfortable with risking damaging cylinder wall when done incorrectly) or dowel rod, make sure the engine at at TDC, or top dead center. Gently put the screw driver or dowel rod into the spark plug hole until it hits the piston inside and turn the engine over with the clutch until you hear a realeasing sound and the screw driver stops moving upward, if it starts going back down, back the engine up until it stops agian. E After you have gotten the engine to TDC, use the feelers gauge, which you need to set to .005, and place it between the lifter and top of the valve spring. F Loosen the nut on top of the rocker arm with the 9mm wrench G While moving the feelers gauge back on forth betweent the lifter and valve spring, turn the small square adjuster on top of the rocker with the pliers or adjuster tool clockwise until the feelers gauge get fairly difficult to move. H While holding the adjuster exactly where you found it to start snugging up, retighten the nut tightly with the 9mm wrench I Recheck your adjustment J Make sure the nuts are tight and everything is correct, then replace the valve cover back with the two bolts. K Replace the spark plug and start, it will still tap because the engine has not generated enough heat within the first few minutes of running to close that .005 gap. This is the whole point of the valve clearance, to leave the metal enough room to expand when the engine gets hot. |
