27 Hudson F Head Valve Adjustment

Unknown

The novice is back. Help please. I recently had our intake and

exhaust valves and seats ground. I have adjusted the exhaust valves

using the following method:



Exhaust Valve adjustment

1) Bring intake valve rod to top by turning over crank.

2) Adjust exhaust valve clearance to .014

Note: This adjustment is a cold adjustment and I was told that once

the engine is fired up I would then reset the adjustment between .06-

.08.



I recently read a page from "Everyman's Guide to Motor Efficency",

which was published in 1927. In part it states the following: "Adjust

the lifters while the engine is hot, if possible. It this cannot

convenienetly be done for any reason, leave two or three times the

normal space in the adjusting the cold engine, and then test the

adjustment when the engine is good and hot."



Comments please.



Intake Valve Adjustment



I currently have the head off. What would be the recommended method of

adjusting the intake valves. As an example, would I watch the exjaust

valve raise from the seat fully and then make the adjustment or?



Thank you.
