leweymeister Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We just got a CL with the E9-500 in it. Big ballsy engine on a big ballsy truck. I love it. It makes a little ticking sound when it idles, and I was told to do a valve adjustment on it. Easy enough, but having never worked on a V-8 before, i have no clue how the cylinders are numbered... I'd greatly appreciate any insight on the matter. Thanks a bunch.
