I did a valve adjustment on my 67 valiant a couple weeks ago. (Intake .010 Exhaust .020) It was a major improvement in a lot of ways. Except now my PCV valve is whistling, and when i pop it out and shine a flashlight on the hole, i see a little smoke. the valves were way out of whack. When i was done with the adjustment i was pretty happy with how it went. Maybe it smoked before.....but would anything about a valve adjust cause my engine smoke? |

Re-adjust the idle speed, that may stop the PCV whistle. DD |

And you adjusted hot/running, not cold, right? |

yup, engine runnin' and warmed up. idling low I'm pretty sure i navigated the intake and exhaust combo alright, but what if i did get one backwards? hypothetically. What would happen if one of my intake valves was adjusted to the exhaust spec. or vice-versa? |

Should run rough, which you don't indicate. Richard |
