HI guys i know this has been asked before but im not finding the answer I am lookin for when i search it .
1. feeler gauge straight feelers or angled/bent style
2. ENGBLDER says 7 and 9 hot or cold does this sound normal to you ?
3. can I reuse the vcover gasket ?

THANKS

 

btw its a 22re

 

OEM specs are 8 and 12.

are you running and ENGNBLDR cam or stock?

 

angled or bend your straight ones

7 and 9 on his RV head with cam/ oem specs are posted above

I guess you could, but risk leaks, Go buy a new set and don't forget to silicone the half moons front and back of the head.

 

its a engbldr head and cam .

 

DO you fellas know the valve cover torque specs??

 

Look it up in the FSM. See link below.

 

thank you very much !!

 

valves are adjusted head bolts are retorqued and all is well !! very quiet now very happy guy

I did have one issue . I loaned my feeler gauges to a friend and I wanted to get the bent ones to make adjusting the intakes easier so I went to sears and bought a new set of bent feelers I removed it form the package and went to adjust the first valve and the thumb screw fell off and went into the motor . I was ready to go postal on sears but in all reality I guess it was my fault anyway 45 minutes later and no luck with the telescoping magnet I got a roll of paper towels and started sucking up the hot oil pooled up in the head and found it .. Turns out its aluminum which is why the magnate would find it .lol. WARNING DONT BE AN IDIOT LIKE ME AND TIGHTEN THAT THUMB SCREW UP IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE SEARS FEELER SETS !!
