1964 dart inline 6 225
 

I had some bent pushrods so removed the head to inspect the pistons and lifters. My question is in the valve lash on solid lifters which im not familiar with. I cant find information on the gap nor the procedure that is required to perform the indicated action upon reassembly. Also i havent worked on the interior of an engine since I was young. ( a long time ago) so the procedure would need to be explaind in as much detail as possible. thx for your time

That should have hydraulic lifters and shaft mounted rockers. No adjusting.

actually, i think the / 6 didnt become hydraulic until the 80's

slants have solid lifters - its been awhile since i've done mine. i remember spinning the engine with a breaker bar for each one while my dad was topside adjusting them - did one when it was running once too, hot, oily, messy and real fun :rolleyes:

its a slant six and I have the topside apart. As I said in the original thread it has solid rockers

Here's a link that might help you out.

thx fornthe help guys I found the information finally and the assembly process has begun

let us know how it turns out

up and running good. The information was .019 on the exhaust and .010 0n the intake at tdc while engine is hot. the whole thing tested me though. when i got it back together it wasnt running so hot. I was very meticulus during the assembly process and couldnt believe that I had made a mistake somewhere. That night in my pajamas it got the best of me so I went out to look things over again .Started it up and opened the hood. to my dismay there was the culprit flashing bright as day in the darkness. one of the plug wires was arcing with the body. a bad plug wire almost had me ripping the head back off.. I decided a victory lap around the block was in order. that little slant six is back to squeeling those 14's again. off to the car show saturday. just in time

nice work

yeah slants were solid till 84 or so. I just remember .010 on the intake and .020 on the exhaust.

Welcome...
