Subject: [tcb] Tight exhaust valves
Last week I was asking about the gurgling sound in my carb after I turn
engine off in my '68 zebra Bus. And tomorrow I am bringing him to my
mechanic to mess with his carb. So right now I am adjusting his valves and
changing his oil so that he is in tip top shape for the mechanic to work his
magic. And all 4 exhaust valves are tight. I adjust to .006. 1-3 were
tight but I could get a .005 or .004 gauge in them. But the 4 was tightest
of all. The biggest gauge I could get in was a .002.
This seems scary too me. Am I worried about nothing? Do I have a problem
with my exhaust? Is it because he has been running too hot and when if the
mechanic gets his carb better, my problem will be solved? This engine
doesn't have too many miles on it and has always performed well.
