[Farmall] problem?

[Bobby Guilbeau]

I had thought about this possibly happening, but dismissed it in my mind.
This scenario would be the easiest to find and fix than the camshaft.  I was
thinking leaving all of the adjustments as they were everything should be
ok, but then being I had the head professionally reworked and all of the
valves were changed the old settings are no longer valid.


Thanks for your input, you too Todd.  I'm just hoping I'm mistaken about the
camshaft.  I remember taking particular care about making sure I had the
notch's correct.

Let this be a lesson NEVER let a project like this take two years, it's too
easy to forget what you've done<grin>...

No clearance at Valve / Rocker arm adjustment, not allowing valve to 
fully close??

down when the intake valve is open.
