Abstract

See full text

Valve clearance adjustment systems and related methods that can be used to quickly and easily establish and accurately fix a desired and consistent and replicable valve clearance gap in internal combustion engines with shaft mounted rocker arms where a manual valve lash adjustment is required. In some examples, valve adjustment systems include valve adjustment members that are movably disposed in rocker arms and that can be easily and selectively fixed in place in the rocker arm. Aspects also include indexing mechanisms (734, 822, 838) for quickly and easily setting a desired position of a valve adjustment screw in a rocker arm without needing to use a feeler gauge.
