Valve Clearances

Post by markie »

Just adjusted my valve clearances.
A quick question once adjusted should the rockers be tight or should there be play i can move mine once adjusted.
Cheers

rockers

Yes!!! since you should have adjusted the valve clearances to
12 thou" then obviously there should be that amount of play.
Perhaps that is not what you are querying?

Valve replacement

Post by markie »

Hi got my cylinder head off and yes i did have a blown exhaust valve.
Once i get the valves out and de coke the head if the other valves are okay can i get away with just replacing the knackered valve.
cheers

yes, but it would be foolish not to grind in all the valves while
you have the chance and don't forget to fit the little rubber oil
control rings to the valves. They will be included in your head
gasket set.
