350 valve adjustment order - 1992 Chevrolet K1500

360 with hydraulic lifters, the crankshaft wit a ratchet and socket to get each valve closed. When lifter is at bottom turn the valve adjuster out to where you have free movement then turn adjuster till the rocker arm touches the lifter, then turn the adjuster in three quarters of a turn, and that valve is adjusted. No other clearance is required on hydraulic lifters. Do this with each valve in turn as each piston comes to top dead center using the firing order as a guide. When #1 piston is up to top dead center, both valves are closed. Adjust intake and exhaust at this time. Then the next in the firing order. The firing order can be found on the intake as is each cylinder marked with it's number. If it were a Chevy small block, for example only, firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. I would bring # 1 cylinder up to top dead center on compression stroke by removing that spark plug and stick my finger in the hole and crank the engine till I felt my finger being pushed away with compression, then bring that piston up till the timing mark was on the "0" of the timing tab at drivers side of the harmonic balancer on the crank. Adjust both valves on #1 cylinder and then turn the crank until both valves of #8 cylinder were free moving at the rocker. Then to the next in order of fire. I would turn each adjuster out at least one full turn before starting this procedure, then adjust them in order of firing starting with #1. It isn't hard, just takes time to do it right.

Back off on all the rocker arms and check to make sure you didn't bend any push rods then make sure you are starting on #1 Cylinder and readjust, when it starts you can finish the adjustment by backing off rocker arm nut till you here it TICK than tightentill TICK IS GONE. I do not have info on the fireing order for primary adjustment but you should be able to find on line complete instructions, Go to ASK.COM and ask for Chev 350 Valve Adjustment their are several to choose from and even YOUTUBE Videos on it.

i need to know how to adjust the valves on 02 pont sunfire

You either have the firing order wrong or the timing is not set right. You get fire out of the intake when a spark plug fires when an intake valve is still open. Order is 18436572 cylinders are 1357 front to back on drivers side, 2468 on passenger side. Turn the engine so the mark on the crank points to "0" on the timing scale. Set the distributor so the rotor points towards the front of the engine (not exactly but not at the firewall) If when at "0" it points to fw, turn one more time. Set wires on cap with #1 aligned with the rotor, then all others in order clockwise.
Only other possibility is that you have the valves adjusted too tight, have a bad cap or rotor or the replacement engine has a burned valve (doubt it).

just go to ehow on computer, and click on first link on page. when page comes up, type valve adjustment for small block 350. this page will help you!!

they are hydralic and are not adjustable during normal maintenence
if you removed heads then you need to adjust them
if they are clicking then a lifter may be bad or the cam shaft is going flat

you need feeler guage, youl need find the valve clearence to set it and adjust each one by using the rule of 9

There hydolic lifters so you need no adjustment. If your trying to get rid of a ping and were told to adjust your valves check you timing. Usually the timing chain streches a bit and causes timing to be off a little. Also you can take the valve covers off and tighten the rocker arm studs but again you really shouldnt have to do that.

either the intake is sucking oil from the bottom of the manifold, very common, other is the rings are gone, also very common,lighterr oil usage is a valve stem seal issue. the valves are hydraulic and unless u are installing new rocker arms require no adjustment.

Im not sure which tranny you have,but i would check to see if the throttle valve cable is stretched or needs adjusting.( if applicable) or check the modulator valve and vacuum supply line to the valve...Good Luck...
