If it has hydraulic lifters, you do not adjust the valves.
Chevy did have a 4 cylinder in the S-10 but just like Ford does not offer 4WD with the 4 cylinder, Chevy may do the same. A search of "Chevy S-10 Specs" on Google will provide an answer.
It could have, Just count the spark plugs. 4 plugs= 4 cylinder 6 plugs= 6 cylinder 8 plugs= 8 cylinder
A intake valve open when the piston reaches the top of the cylinder and just after the exhaust valve closes. It allow fuel and air to enter the engine cylinder.
in back just ahead of fuel tank.
It could be the timing chain/sprockets marks are not lined up correctly or the valves are not adjusted correctly.
You probably mean "interference" engine...(piston hits valves) I cannot answer truthfully, because I just dunno.
It's not a good habit to get into. Only the valves should be used just like lifting a single cylinder.
Usually it's not trivial to find out that valves have to be replaced. Some common cases are: timing belt was broken and valves were bent, one or more valves where burn or have mechanical defect. The best way is just to look at valves, it might involve removal of cylinder head unless you have a optical fiber which allows to look in combustion chambers without opening it.
engine has solid lifters need to turn each cylinder to top dead center using a socket and wrench on harmonic balancer then adjust valves to I think 30 thousands maybe more or maybe less get a book at a auto parts store to get correct specs.or you can save 25 dollars and do what I do and look at the book in the store and just write down the specs.
You might be able to trace the id # (just in front of #2 cylinder) at mortec.com
im pretty sure ther is no suvh thing from dodge/cummins theyve always been 12 or 24 valves a 1 valve just cant happen in a stright 6 you need a even number of valves per cylinder ex. the 12 valve cummins is a stright 6 and it has 2 valves per cylinder whic is the min. and the 24 valve has 4 valves per cylinder and is also a stright 6, the 12 valve came out in the early to mid 80s and the 24 idk a 16 valve would b with a stright8 or v8 it would have 2 valves cyl, ford and gm desiles are v8s
Sodium is a solid at room temperature and becomes a liquid at 97.5 degrees Celsius. Sodium cooled valves are exhaust valves in a cylinder head of an engine that open to release exhaust gasses that were formed due to combustion of fuel and air inside the cylinders and typically get very hot. The sodium cooled valves and exhaust valves filled with sodium inside, the sodium helps the valves be cooler than if they were just solid.
