    Default Valve Adj on 2.6

    Trying to help a friend with his valve adjustment on a 2.6. Never worked on a 2.6 before, but I've adjusted valves for the last 35years on various 911's that I have owned, and wondering if I can follow the same principle. Start at #1 TDC ON COMPRESSION, adjust #1, then rotate crank 120 degrees clockwise and continue to adjust in firing (162435) order (COLD)??

    Is there any valve overlap that I need to be concerned about that is unique to this engine?

    Not sure about any overlap issue

    exhaust value 5 and 6 are very hard to get to.

    remove the dipstick for more room..

    Reach out to Bud on Gunsandrover about you overlap issue or RPGreg2600 on are host list. I think Greg has worked of 2.6L engines like Bud

    I have 2.6.l Weslake Head running. One in Blue and the other in Tan

    20/50 oil. Change every 3500 miles or one year.

    What year is his Land Rover?

    thanks for the response....

    Anyone know about using the same procedure that I use on my 930? Is there anything different/unique about the 2.6?

    Bud on the gunsandrover list set my values on both
    of my 1967 land rover 109 nada with 2.6 l engine

    greg has a very rare one of these 109.

    not sure if he still
    has the 2.6 l engine

    both could help you with your question
