Valve Adjustments When Using Alpine GTA Camshafts - Yianni - 11 Jan 2013
Hi All,
I'm having trouble adjusting valves with new Alpine cams. Is there a different procedure for these camshafts or am I overlooking another problem with new timing chains? I have installed them twice, but still have a problem adjusting the valves. On some valves, adjustment is all the way up, but valve spring is not relieved (still compressed). I would appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Hi Yanni, the procedure is the same as for DeLorean cams.
Get the engine to TDC #1 firing stroke and adjust
Inlet 1 2 4
Exhaust 1 3 6
The turn the engine 360 so #1 is again at TDC and its valves are "on the rock" then adjust
Inlet 3 5 6
Exhaust 2 4 5
