Dry Valve Lash
This must be an obscure area because googling it didn't bring up anything in
usenet. Be that as it may the O-300 we are presently doing a top on has more than .110" dry valve clearance under the rocker toe on several of the valves. That reading is the clearance between the rocker arm toe and the top of the valve stem when the hydraulic lifter has been completely collapsed. However, the hydraulic units are Superior's, and so are the cylinders. So I'm wondering if we are going to have to go to longer pushrods, since the Continental Overhaul Manual calls for limits of .030" to .110" dry valve clearance. Anybody here got any ideas? What I'm hoping (probably in futility) is that the limits are greater with Superior hydraulic units. If not we'll have to go to the next oversize set of pushrods and our budget is already busted all to hell. TIA and bless you. |
