ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Valve Adjustment.

    Just got back from a long and tiring day doing head work (my back!).

    Anyway, I set exhaust to .3 and intake to .25. I have a loud click and somewhat visible exhaust.

    Can the exhaust be linked to improperly closing valves? It seems to be an oil burning exhaust, but I can only see it against the rust inside my muffler.

    Also, is the click inductive of valves being to far one way or the other? IE, click is because the valves are loose(or tight)?

    37.5 MPG, AC on, cruising at 80.
    30.0 MPG, AC on, aggressively driving around 90.
    27.5 MPG, no AC, cruising at 90 with occasional gridlock. 40 degrees Fahrenheit

    Get some awesome wipers! <-- It's a DIY

    Where on earth did you get those measurements? The valves should be set to .010" intake and .012" exhaust...

        Ah, that's a little better then.

        I've discovered that the valves typically are noisier after an adjustment, as they typically get tight over time, at least in my experience.

          Any insight on the smoke?

            Also, I set the valves for a "medium" drag along the gauges. I that about right?

                That's what I think. I had my cousin look while I revved. He didn't see any smoke but I heard the tick.
