setting valve lash

[WSUcowboy]

thanks guys, I think that the rod wasnt seated all the way, you know how you are supposed to be able to pull it out a bit and feel some pressure, well i kinda forgot that step....

Thanks Henry! I gave him two, so they would be the same for that hole. They didn't look any different than the top, but same diameter oiling hole and socket at the top.

He would of been fine with just one lol, In some of the specs Gm said it changed the oiling and that the oiling hole would be gone not sure if it is for the LML or not.We only replaced 1 when we did the LB7 and I think have to check Gm did away with the one on the left.

Not sure what your setting your lash at I did mine at 11 not 12.

 

[WSUcowboy]

nice, its amazing how much easier it is to set the lash when everything is straight!!

 

[WSUcowboy]

I did .012

 

[WSUcowboy]

do i need to put any loctite on the valve cover bolts?

 

[KEVINL]

No Why would you

 

[WSUcowboy]

it looked like there was some on there before, but after looking more closely it was silicone

 

[KEVINL]

Yeah I am pretty certain it is just silicone
