Sarge Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 intake: .010in (+/-.001)exhaust: .014in (+/-.001) Exhaust is the two inner ones, Intake are the outter ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
