Brad, I'm guessing you think I have hydraulic lifters. I have solid so I need
.006 clearance.
I also forgot to mention this is an every time occurrence. When I drive the
bus for at least 100 miles in one day, it's time to adjust valves.
And also when I do adjust them it is usually a week or two later before I can
get to them.

John you might change the push rods to chromemoly instead of stock. You
would adjust those to 0 clearance. Until they seat you might have adjust them
once or twice back to 0.00 clearance. Once they have totally seated you should
have no problem...Brad

I have a 1977 Westy that wants to give me fits!
Lonnie and I built the 2.0 liter, solid lifters with dual carbs. When I
take it for a road trip like to T@P from Ft. Worth, I have to readjust the
valves when I get home. The number 3 and 4 cylinders are the worst. Usually
both exhaust valve are tight and one of the intakes are too. I am getting
frustrated with it and want to be able to use it as a daily driver but don't
want to adjust the valves every week or so. I know I could go to hydraulic
valves but feel that would be like putting a bandaid on instead of fixing the
problem.
Any input on what you have done or maybe a solution you may have heard
once, share with me please. I don't want my bus to be too much hassle to drive
when the feeling hits.
Thanks, John.
