Firing order: 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nSplitting the firing order into a fraction with the last 4 digits below will produce a sequence for valve adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fraction will look like this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 8 4 3 \/ 6 5 7 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the split firing order, each cylinder at the upper part of the fraction is at the top dead center (TDC) when the corresponding cylinder at the lower part is at the TDC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the two cylinders will be on the exhaust stroke while the other will be on the compression stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This means that you can adjust cylinder 1<\/em> when cylinder 6<\/em> is at the TDC, cylinder 5 <\/em>when cylinder 8 <\/em>is at the TDC, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSimilarly, you can adjust the intake valve of the cylinder when the exhaust valve of that cylinder is at the TDC and vice versa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The valves have to be adjusted using the EIIEEIIE sequence (Exhaust-Intake, Intake-Exhaust, Exhaust-Intake, Intake-Exhaust).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This implies that; E I E I \/ I E I E sequence follows the 1 8 4 3 \/ 6 5 7 2 firing order.<\/p>\n\n\n
How Do You Set Valve Lash on SBC 350?<\/h2>\n\n\n
Valve lash adjustment can easily be carried out with the EOIC method. This is a major method among the different steps on how to adjust valves on a 350 Chevy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It simply stands for Exhaust Opening and Intake Closing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Follow these steps to set Valve Lash on SBC 350:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Pull off the valve cover to have access to the rocker arms.<\/li>
- To set the lash in the intake valve, start rotating the engine and stop once the exhaust valve starts opening.\u00a0<\/li>
- Inspect the lash between the intake valve stem and the rocker arm to know if it is inappropriate.<\/li>
- Use the adjuster on the rocker arm till you achieve the right thickness measurement between the intake valve stem and the rocker arm if it is inappropriate.<\/li>
- Lock the adjuster in place with a poly lock once the right thickness measurement has been achieved.\u00a0<\/li>
- To set the lash in the exhaust valve, start rotating the engine again.\u00a0<\/li>
- When the intake valve is completely open and has commenced closure, set the lash on the exhaust valve using the same procedures in the intake valve lash setting.\u00a0<\/li>
- Perform the same operation on other cylinders.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
