Wondering if anyone knows the correct sequence for valve adjustment on the 323 eights. The one where you have it at top dead center for # 1 and adjust eight of the valves, then roll the engine over 360 degrees and adjust the rest. I adjusted them this way when I rebuilt the eng but have forgotten the sequence and none of my books (motors, chiltons, and the chrysler shop manual) show it. Can't remember where I found it. Old men's disease.....

I have never seen the sequence that you are seeking either. .You should be able to figure it out though!

I roll em ( C39/C49's) over to TDC for each cylinder when I do them with a remote starter switch.

I appreciate the replies and I found it.....finally. I had it stuck inside one of my old motors manuals

#1 Cylinder TDC in firing position (valves closed) adjust:

#1 intake, exhaust

#2 exhaust

#4 intake, exhaust

#6 intake, exhaust

#7 intake

rotate engine 360 degrees to TDS (#8 firing position) and adjust

#2 intake

#3 intake, exhaust

#5 intake exhaust

#7 exhaust

#8 intake, exhaust
