str 6 its really an inline 6
If it has hydraulic lifters, you do not adjust the valves.
The valves on a Ford 300 straight six are not adjustable. If they are noisy you have worn valve train parts.
All 4.2 L Inline 6 Cyl GM engines require 7 quarts when you change the Oil & Filter.
The easiest way to identify a flat head engine is that there aren't any valve covers. The Cylinder head is what you see and you will notice alot of bolts. These are all the head bolts exposed, on a inline 6 cylinder there will usually be 33 bolts. The cam is in the center of the engine and valves are not in the head like most engines. The head is, well, flat, and has the spark plugs on top of it, and inline 6 will have 6 spark plugs in a row.
in the u.s., jeep wranglers didn't come with a v6, they came with an in-line 6. if your jeep has an inline 6 you don't have to adjust the timing. it adjusts it's sels.
Inline.
Yes. May have to improvise the kick-down cable.
Yes.. All there is to it an inline 6 will stomp most v8's because an inline 6 has a F ton of torque most people dont see
remove spark plugs, bump motor over till piston 1 is at TDC ( top dead center ) on the compresstion stroke. at this point both valves are closed. adjust all play out of all cylinders at TDC .. but don't over tighen now the all play is gone from all cylinders and theres even pressure on cam shaft the final spec is 3/4 to 1 turns down. intake 3/4- 1 turns down. exhuast turn to spec at TDC for each cylinder
Many different 300 -6 inline engines -state make and year.
