Thread: Setting valves

    Setting valves

    Hey gang,
    I had to replace the head gasket on my 53 263 St8.The Felpro kit came with a steel gasket.Can someone tell me the way to adjust the valves? My manual is not very helpful or I'm just too stupid.Can anyone explain how to in plain language.
    thanks,Ray

    That little mouse hole on the bell housing does make it difficult to see the timing marks!
