FORD V6 ESSEX TAPPET SETTINGS / VALVE CLEARANCE 

Dankie Johan. Ons is nooit te oud om te leer nie...

Thank you for this and sharing your knowledge

That is true mechanic way. If you set thousands, you figure out a simple way with spark plugs out..., start one side, finish other side on a straight or one bank on a v then do other bank. Forget complicated firing sequence. Turn motor on crank bolt clockwise until exh valve is just starting to open, then adjust INTAKE on that cyl(lifter /pushrod is on the back of cam)opposite lobe ramp wherever cam or cams are, same for any 4 stroke. After you adjust intake, rotate until intake valve on same cylinder opens fully and closes 3/4 . Now ADJUST EXHAUST . Repeat on next cyl...and do on. Easy peasy bra😁👍

ok .cam branch freeflow .carb.142 mains 185 ventury mis that and you are right.feel.lekker man

Thanks a lot...I've learned a simple a nice method. This is really helpful to those who are keen to learn..

Exactly the right way

Thanks! That is great info and very good presented. I would love to see a video about torquing down the headbolts on a Essex V6. There´s a lot of confusing info about this on the web and that´s something you don´t wan´t to get wrong.

Great vid thanks

First thing is to cover up the intake not to drop something into it ! Simply devide the crank pulley in to three marks 120° appart. Start on the tdc mark with number one on compression then simply follow the fireing order ! Every next mark is the next number of the fireing order ! Louw from PRO - MECH ! My personal patent !!

Thanks.

Thank you that was very informative

I'm a huge fan.

good job

Would love to see you experiment on a essex v6 60thou pistons nice cam straight pipe exhaust built for motorsport. High revvs knive edged cranks etc. Port and gasflow heads etc... More or less how much does a setup like that go for Johan +-? Coming out of Johans auto
