Valve clearance check.

Post by ChowderV4 »

Alrighty, following vipers guide and the haynes manual i've just done the valve clearance on my new engine that going into my bike,
i'm posting this up just to get a second opinion and make sure everything is right.

Below is the picture of the chart with all my measurements take, the lowest value would slide into the gap, the highest value is the next size up that wouldn't slide through the gap.
All are either within tolerance or out by .1/.2 either way.
Would you recommend me getting a feeler gauge with a lager range of measurement or is this ok as mine only measures in .5mm stage?

cheers,
Ben

P.S this is my first attempt at a valve clearance :|
