Subject:6 mils of lash...
From:Richard Bias
Date:Wed, 22 Dec 1999 08:55:53 PST

All,
  OK, I did it...   Finally.  Last night (I did my heads a couple of weeks
ago) I adjusted my valves to 6 mils of lash.  My poor wasserboxxer sounds
like a coffee can, full of ball-bearings, rolling down a hill.  There was
one adjuster turned all the way in!  I wish I saw that when I put the rocker
assembly back on.  My idle is a little screwy now.  It is up at about 1600
RPM.  I am going to adjust the valves today (now that my lifters are "all
pumped up"!)when I get home.  Will my idle be OK after that, (I hope)?  It
was fine before I did the adjustment last night.  It doesn't make much sense
to me.  Thanks for your reply.
