Engine—Valve Adjustment


The Kissel Model 6-55 advanced six-cylinder engine

Lynn performs a valve adjustment on Bugsby following the procedure noted in the Kissel operating manual. In his opinion, virtually all of the valves are adjusted too tightly (with too little gap). If the valves were indeed too tight, this could contribute to burning of the valves because they may not fully close.
