If the adjustment is made for an engine tune-up, follow the final adjustment procedure. The cylinders are numbered from front to rear—right bank, 1-2-3-4; left bank, 5-6-7-8.
P A R T 1-1-GENERAL ENGINE SERVICE stalled or severe wear has occurred at the push rod ends, rocker arm, or valve stem. In this case, it will be necessary to determine the area of discrepancy and the incorrect or defective part(s) should be replaced. If all the valve train components except the push rod are within limits, install a 0.060-inch longer push rod. 2. Rotate the crankshaft until No. 1 piston is on TDC at the end of the compression stroke. With No. 1 piston on TDC, check the following valves: No.

If an end valve rocker arm was removed, slide it into position on the shaft and install the washers and retaining pin. Perform a preliminary valve lash adjustment as necessary. Operate the engine until normal operating temperature has been reached. Check and adjust the valve lash or Silent Lash clearance.
P A R T 1-1-GENERAL ENGINE SERVICE However, the compression of all cylinders should be uniform within 10 pounds. A reading of more than the allowable tolerance above normal indicates excessive deposits in the cylinder. A reading of more than the allowable tolerance below normal indicates leakage at the cylinder head gasket, piston rings, or valves. A low even compression in two adjacent cylinders indicates a cylinder head gasket leak. This should be checked before condemning the rings or valves.

The lifters can also be checked with a hydraulic tester to test the leak-down rate. Follow the instructions of the test unit manufacturer. TIMING CHAIN Clean all parts in solvent and dry them with compressed air. Inspect the chain for broken links and the sprockets for cracks, and worn or damaged teeth.

If the lower inner portion of the ring grooves have high steps, replace the piston. The step will interfere with ring operation and cause excessive ring side clearance.
1-16 G R O U P 1-ENGINES AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS expand the reamer slightly and make another cut. Repeat the procedure until the proper fit is obtained. Check the piston pin for fit in the respective rod bushing. If necessary, ream or hone the bushing to fit the pin. 'A1020-A FIG. 27—Ring Side Clearance A1201-B FIG. 25-Checking Piston Fit Example 2.

The oil from the shaft flows through drilled holes in each rocker arm to lubricate the eccentric, rocker arm shaft bore, the valve, and ball end of the rocker arm. Excess oil spirals down the rotating push rod and assists in lubricating the tappet and push rod seat. An oil outlet tube ex- hausts excess oil from the rocker shaft to lubricate the distributor lower bushing and distributor drive gear.
