    To many racers and enthusiasts, the concept of valve lash is regarded as a dark art. It seems like some mystery craft that is best left to engine builders and mechanics. Yet, proper valve lash can actually be set by anyone. Not only is it vital to the health of your engine, proper valve lash may also give you an advantage on the track.

    Valve lash itself is the mechanical clearance in the valve train from the valve tip to the rocker arm in an engine setup that uses solid/mechanical lifters. Excessive lash will cause a great deal of noise in the engine and wear in the valve train, while lashing too tightly may hang open a valve, thereby not allowing the cylinder to run. Instead of making compression, air will blow through the valve. Thus, proper valve lash is critically important.

    The year 1978 was a great era for Oldsmobile



    1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme advertising


    Throughout history, the Oldsmobile story has inspired many automotive historians with its rich and celebrated heritage which started right in Michigan’s capital city of Lansing.


    I remember a particularly exciting year in 1978 when Oldsmobile introduced their new line of vehicles and automotive catalogues to the buying public.
