I have done this on an 8 valve, but not on a 16valve. I can set the lash on the exhaust valves, but where do I put the gauge on the intake valves?
-
Between the cam and rocker. Thats how you should set them all.
-
on all the rest of them I was told to check gap between valve stem and adjuster.
-
Any way you wish, just as long as the valve has the right lash,
otherwise you will burn the valves

On 8Vs, you check them between the rocker and valve stem.
On 16Vs, you check them between the rocker and the cam lobe.

Alternatively, you can just pluck all your valve-lashes...

LOL, good thing I wasn't drinking anything

thanks for the info. On another note I also noticed that the head set came with a flat thermostat gasket and not the O ring. To me it looks like I need the O ring type gasket and not the flat one. Is this correct?

I believe if the block or thermostat housing is machined with a shoulder (recess) the o-ring is required, if not then use the flat gasket, but not both.

Yep. I have heard the same thing.

I need to find the oring then, but nobody seems to have one.

The last one I got was from NAPA but it was a while back and don't have a part number.

Hit the bulk bins of O-rings and match one to the Dia and thickness you need

If I remember correctly, the O-ring inner circumference is split so it fits around the outer circumfeence of the thermostat.

Ya, I had a gasket like that too, but the groove in the housing was too big
and it didn't seal at all, I don't remember what I did to fix it, but I worked
something out

well, one of the local Napa's actually had one. they are a square O ring with a cut on the inner part of the ring that slips onto the the outside edge of the thermostat.
