HELP! Buick super 1949! heating problem after adjusting rocker arms!
Don Tomaso replied to Selim's topic in Buick - Post War
This is how you do it, hydraulic valvelifters don't have a valvelash Copied from the manual: a . Initial Adjustment of Hydraulic Valv~ Lifters The initial adjustment of any hydraulic valve lifter must be made only when the lifter is on the camshaft base circle (off the cam) . 1. Crank engine over slowl y until distributor rotor indicates that affected cylinder is in fir- ing position, which places both lifters of this cylinder on the camshaft base circle (off the cam) , so that either lifter may be adjusted. 2. Turn adjusting ball stud as required until all play of push rod between lifter and ball stud is just removed, and there is no lash clearance in the valve train. 3. Turn adjusting ball stud down exactly 2 turns. Check to make sure that oil groove on ball stud is at least half way down in rocker arm so that it connects with the drilled oil pas- sage in rocker arm, then tighten the lock nu t . 4. If oil groove on ball stud is not at least half wa y down in rocker arm, turn ball stud down one additional turn (total 3 turns) and tighten lock nut. If oil groove is still too high, it will be necessary to install another push rod or lifter. 5. When it is necessary to adjust all valve lifters in an engine, time may be saved by aligning the "D.D.C. 1-8" mark on flywheel . with index mark in ti ming hole in flywheel housing, firs t with No. 1 cylinder and later with No. 8 cylinder in firing position as in di- cated by position of distributor rotor. Adjust lifters according to the following table : -No.1 Cyl. Firing- - No. 8 Cyl. Firing- Valve No. Va lve Val ve No. Valve 1 #1 Exh. 3 #2 Inlet 2 # 1 Inlet 5 #3 Exh. 4 # 2 Exh. 6 #3 Inlet 7 #4 Inlet 9 #5 Exh. 8 #4 E xh. 10 #5 Inlet 11 # 6 Inlet 13 #7 Exh. 12 #6 Exh. 15 #8 Inlet 14 #7 Inlet 16 # 8 E xh. -

Not correct, you have hydralic lifters. Go in here http://oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/Buick/1948-49/index.htm and download the shop manual then you know how to adjust your valves.. -

Left Door latch to a 49 Roadmaster sedanet?
-
Hi I need the left front door lock mechanism. (same on 48-49 Buick, 48-49 Cadillac and 49 Olds 98). I also need tail light pigtail with bracket. (same on 49 Roadmaster and Special).
-
There is Dynaflow skript on the steringwheel and trunk lid to, so i also guess on a dealer rebuild.
-
That would be nice
-
Hi, not a europe car, imported from US this summer.
-
Thank you, then my car must have been built with dynaflow and then converted to manual. (maybe by the dealer).
-
Thank's, You are right, I live in the south of Sweden about 40 Km southwest of the city Växjö.

Hi On the body tag I have the letters K and M. Anyone that know what they mean. All the other I know what it means. My car has a manual transmission with all the right parts so i wonder if it's maybe a special order or maybe modified by the dealer? Every book says that all Roadmasters has the dynaflow transmission but not mine. Regards Thomas
