Setting the valves? (Super 55)

ol 55' · Apr 22, 2016

Now that I have installed a new muffler on my 4 cylinder gas tractor, boy can I hear some noisy valves or lifters a clattering. Need some info on what the settings are and the easiest way to set each cylinder through the rotation cycle. Thanks there farmers.

Standard method is to count to nine for a four cylinder engine. One valve open, the other closed. Simple.

Well not quite sure what you mean by that, I have set a lot of valves on some chevys and fords but not quite sure about the 9 count? :?:

This is a gas tractor? Valve clearance is 10 & 16. Firing order is 1 - 2 - 4 - 3. Do number one and a half turn of the crank later do # 2, then another 1/2 turn do # 4 and a half turn later do #3. If nothing else find #1 TDC by removing the distributor cap and turn the engine in the direction of rotation till the rotor lines up with #1 spark plug terminal. Questions? Have a phone number.
