<VV> valve adjusting sequence after an o-ring job....

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

Hey guys (and gals),
Since it's been maybe 8 years since my last o-ring job, and I can't locate  
my HTKYCA book, I need a refresher on the valve adjusting procedure...
With #1 at TDC
#1 I&E, #3 I, #5 E, #4 E, #6 I
 
then turn crank 360 degrees and do:
#3 E, #5 I, #2 I&E, #4 I, #6 E....
 
and yes, I know you look for actual movement in the length of the rod, not  
checking if it twists...
So, is that sequence correct?
 
I didn't even look in my Tech Guide... it's probably in there... or my "Bob  
Helt Collection".... I might check those in the morning...
 
Yeah, I'm getting ready to do the Ultra... her parts came in Saturday, and  
I've already cleared it with my instructor to skip class tomorrow.
:-)
But the first plan of action is the rear caliper... It is a 1990 Eldorado  
rear caliper, and I'll be replacing it... it's the type with the lever that  
tightens the pads to the rotor... I looked at the parts at the parts store  
today... so I'll be getting that done first, and flushing the brake fluid as  well. 
and bleeding the front brakes...
:-)
Gotta be able to stop those whales, ya know...
Well, I'll be looking at any answers in the morning.... and looking in  Bob's 
book... I'm sure it's in there now that I think about it.... and if any of  
you guys DON'T have Bob Helt's book "The Classic Corvair", do yourself a favor  
and get it.... worth every cent! (and no, I'm not getting any kickbacks from  
Bob... he's just an amazing wealth of knowledge, and I'm fortunate to know 
"who  the hell" he is.... you old timers on the list might remember THAT  
exchange)....
;-)
Y'all have a good night, I'm getting some rest.
Later,
Lonzo
