Yes, you are supposed to adjust the valves while the engine
is running, and you are supposed to make sure that oil is pumping through all
the pushrods and that in general nothing seems to look or sound unusual. You
can see pix of the cutout valve covers that I used to reduce oil spillage
during this operation at http://johnnasta.com/elcamino -----Original
Message----- Don't
they! would you happen to know how long a engine swap and replacing
whatever needs to be replacing would actually take? It would be nice if
it was really a half hour - wouldn't it? Don't you have to take off the
covers for the valves and check the valves when the engines running? my
dad said he had to do that with his impala SS when he blew up the 327 and
swapped in the 283. and he said that you took off the valve covers and
check the valves beating up and down and listen (or whatever it is) for
errors...is this true?
Have Fun,
