July 23, 200619 yr I think I have a rocker arm tapping. does anyone know if the rocker arms on an 85 GL are adjustable? the engine is missing now too. any remedies?
July 24, 200619 yr Author EA81, Carburetor, DR, 4-speed, all that good stuff. I don't know if you need to know any of the other stuff but I thought it might save you some posting.
July 24, 200619 yr A lot of it does matter, because some of the EA81 engines in that year had hydraulic lifters. The valve covers are a different color, and have a sticker on them that says not to adjust the valves. When these tap, you don't typically adjust them, you do work that makes the hydraulic lifters work better. It is probable that you do not have a "hydro" motor, and that your valves can/should be adjusted. Valve clearances should be intake: .010in (+/-.001) exhaust: .014in (+/-.001)
