The exhaust valve on cylinder number 4 has given me some issues. Here is the issue and how I am setting the lash.
Ok so I adjust the lash and fire the car, runs good and idles smooth. Now after it warms up you hear a "Pop" and the rocker on the exhaust valve comes loose, car runs like shit and I shut it off. I adjust the lash this way, I open the intake valve fully then I tighten the exhaust valve until the push rod does not lift up or down then I spin the poly lock 1/4 turn. Then set the allen screw then adjust it one more 1/4 turn.
Lifter looks fine, dog bones look good also. Anyone else have this issue? It seems the more I adjust it the longer it hold before it pops.
