Re: [Chrysler300] Adjusting valves

["Fern" <crc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The stock 413 engine in the 1962 300H HAS solid lifters. If I was doing it over again, I would have converted the one in my 300H conv to hydraulic lifters to eliminate that extra maintenance.   Fern

  Jim,

  You should have hydraulic lifters in your 413 that do not require
  adjustment, you won't find any adjusters on the rocker arms.

  Subject: [Chrysler300] Adjusting valves

  Good morning group. I hope everyone is doing well. I'm not a mechanic, so
  I've hired a Mechanic to help me and he has a question that I KNOW someone
  can answer. Keep in mind this is the first Chrysler he's worked on. (Don't
  laugh....he's a Chevy guy)(I guess somebody has to drive those things).

  We've dug in and are replacing valve seals in my original 413 in my H. (The
  original seals are as hard as metal). He's concerned about adjusting the
  valves once we're done. He's explained how he does it in a Chevy, but says
  it's different here. I have an original service manual, but I can't find any
  procedure on how to adjust the valves. Now the question:

  Do the valves need to be adjusted? (I would think they do, listening to
  him). Can someone explain how to do this?

  Thanks as always for your help

  Has anyone had their dash painted as part of a restoration? Any tips on
  color match & type of paint would be greatly appreciated.

  Happy holidays!
