Valve lash adjustment on a P/B Hemi - 05/19/14 12:36 AM
Pretty soon I need to do a hot lash valve adjustment on my Bendix P/B Hemi. 71 cuda.
Will the valve cover clear the brake booster?
Or will I have to loosen the Brake booster and tilt it for the valve cover to come off?

You might measure how much straight line distance there is between the two as the VC would come up/off at a 45 angle

Pull plug tubes out first and it will clear.

That will depend on what rocker arm set up you have, and type of valve covers?,....it's hard enough with the stock stuff

On my '68 Hemi GTX, I needed the flexible spark plug boot on the #7 wire to get the plug wire off.
I had stock valve covers and rockers.

I was able to do my valve lash adjustment on the driver's side today.
Procedure:
Un bolt master cylinder and tie it with a strip of rag to the hood hinge.
Remove brake booster.
There is no other way to clear it if you run a solid cam with power brakes.
