How do you adjust valves on a Yamaha 350?
To adjust the valves on a Yamaha 350, first, remove the valve cover and ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the cylinder being adjusted. Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance between the rocker arm and the valve stem, adjusting it to the specified clearance by loosening the lock nut and turning the adjustment screw. Once the correct clearance is achieved, tighten the lock nut and recheck the clearance to ensure accuracy. Finally, replace the valve cover and ensure all fasteners are securely tightened.
How do you fix engine blowby coming from the valve covers on a Chevy 350?
The problem could be valve seals or excessive piston ring blowby. You could try changing the pcv valve on the valve cover and check the line going to the intake plate to make sure its not stopped up or the intake plate isn't stopped up. However, it most likely means that the piston rings are worn out are broken. Time for a engine rebuild. That is the only way to fix that problem.
