Valve adjuster seized

Post by 3pintsNige »

Hi All
2 litre cu engine. Tryed adjusting the valves this evening, loosened the 14mm lock nut but adjuster itself will not move. Anyone have any ideas how to free the adjuster.
Cheers Nige.

Try running the engine up to temp... You'll have to let the engine cool down once you've freed it off to set the gap properly..

Alternatively remove the rocker and give it some heat 8-)
