The Straight Story: Part Two
|
Alaniz replaces each valve temporarily to verify valve-to-guide wear with a machinist's dial indicator mounted on a level base. He also uses the opportunity to examine stem play by positioning the valve to approximate its maximum lift and jiggling it sideways in the guide. He notes that critical wear occurs in the up and down axis (versus side to side and in and out axes). The up and down axis is where all the load is, considering that when the cam pushes the valve down, the lobe is naturally going to cock the valve to one side, and when the lobe releases the valve is going to want to cock back to the opposite side.
