Valve lifter adjustment saves power in engines
William H. Stewart explains in the Chicago Herald that proper setting of valve lifters is crucial for engine power. Neglected, they cause noisy knocking and loss of compression as the engine heats, with incorrect gaps leading to reduced valve lift and performance. Readjustment involves loosening an adjusting nut, setting the gap to about one-sixteenth inch, and locking the nut, then testing clearance.
