Subject:Re: Zero valve settings

Hi
Yes I have done this.
I rebuilt a motor that I thought had no compression when it would run
for about 15 min the compression would drop off to zero in 2
cylinders. Basically the lifters were over charging and floating the
valves so no compression. let it sit for a day or so and it would
fire on all 4 for about 15 min again. Motor had other issues but that
one drove me crazy. After the rebuild it did it again so I set the
valves at zero and had compression issues never again.

Hope that helps

Jonce
