Operation Valve clearance - Completed
Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2009 11:23 am
Well I finally bit the bullet and pulled out the engine and did the valves. Two intake valves were under at .09 and .08
and two exhaust valves were sitting on .31. So now all intakes are exactly 0.17 and exhaust are all exactly 0.26.
Took two attempts to get them right.
Funny thing is, you know how when you work on machinery and reassemble it you end up with a few bits left over? Some how I have a 2.25mm shim left over
. I hope its a shim and not some key that should be locking some thing to a shaft !
