Valve lash

Is there an adjustment procedure or adjusting the cam tappets, or valve lash in these Mitsubishi engines? Engine has a new head on and valves are tapping

Turn the motor so the cam lobe is pointing away from the rocker arm and stick a feeler gauge in between the lobe and the rocker. Should be.006" on intakes and.010" for exhausts. Do them one at a time and rotate motor to position the lobes properly as you do each one. Loosen nut and turn screw on the rocker to make adjustments.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
