VALVE TRAIN

1961 DODGE LANCER ENGINE, VALVE TRAIN

The camshaft, mounted high in the block, is driven from a crankshaft sprocket by a silent timing chain. The tubular push rods are operated through solid tappets. Stamped steel rocker arms contain self-locking screws for adjusting valve clearance. Umbrella-type seals are fitted to the valve stems for oil control, and four-bead valve locks are used on the exhaust valves to promote free rotation and long life. The large valves provide free breathing to all engine speeds, and the valve gear is designed light to minimize valve float at very high speeds. The valve diameters are: intake 1.62 inch and exhaust 1.36 inch.  Dodge News Photo #60-3461
