To correctly adjust the valves, the valve springs must be removed (L-head engines only) and have the piston at 1/4″ past TDC on the power stroke.

It has 130 lbs. compression one cyl. sounds like it is missing at an idle when pulling spark plug wire off but at top rpm its not to noticeable but still has some rumbling sounds. You can take the dipstick out and it blows some oil out. what sounds like the problem. Thank you

Intake: Between 0.005 and 0.007″
Exhaust: Between 0.009 ND 0.011″
Measured on compression stroke with piston 1/4″ past TDC.
Flat heads don’t typically have adjustable valves. Usually the clearance is determined by the fixed length of the valve stem.
