help wanted with nc30 valve clearances

[bikemonkey]

Yeah Rick Oliver does an exchange service.

You'll find his parts list at the top of the V4 general section. All his contact details are on there

Shim and the rocker arm.

I feel a realisation of stupidity coming on here

You do realise that the photo in the Haynes manual of where to check the clearances actually incorrectly shows the feeler gauge between the rocker and the cam, don't you? If I'd not visited this forum, when I come to do mine, I'd be measuring the wrong thing and probably end up with a knackered valvetrain. There's a difference between stupidity and someone with a lack of experience being given duff info...

In which case, you could have had Haynes foot the bill for a rebuild

Except that there's a disclaimer at the front of each manual saying they'll not take any responsibility for damage or injury caused by any inaccuracy or omission in them.... lol
