Hiya,
I have a 318 w/604 hours that I suspect has never had its valve clearance adjusted. Has anyone done this? If so, do you have a list of steps? Looking at it, it looks like it could be done with the engine in the chassis or do I need to do this on the bench? While I'm doing this, is there any other items I should check/replace on the machine or engine at this point?
Tom
Afterthought: I'm not looking for a how to on setting valve lash, I'm looking for the 318/Onan P specifics like take this shield off before this one and such. I'm a hot rodder from way back and always run solid sticks so I have spent many hours running the valves on a lot of engines. :-)
