Re: Valve clearances - argh!
I use a micrometer to measure all my shims! I never trust what is printed on the topspeedy231278 wrote: Somewhat iritatingly, cylinder 2's left inlet valve shim has the number partly worn away. It's definitely a 2 to start, and the last figure is either 0 or 8, but the rest is a lost cause. Given the number of 220s elsewhere it would be easy to form a dangerous assumption, and only a micrometer or sticking another known 220 in that location and measuring would give the answer.
Right, now to get the bloody thing back together!
