Another servece manual Coppy/Paste
The tappet clearance specification is different for intake and exhaust valves . Tappet clearance must be checked and adjusted, 1) at the time of periodic inspection, 2) when the valve mechanism is serviced, and 3) when the camshafts are disturbed by removing them for servicing . Tappet clearance (when cold): IN . : 0.10 - 0.20 mm (0 .004 - 0.008 in) EX. : 0.20 - 0.30 mm (0 .008 - 0 .012 in) You are right on the lower limit with a few of them there assuming you are using Imperial measurements... Edited because I mis-read them as metric and typed a whole load of twaddle about measuring up for new shims. NOTE, I am using the specs for a Pointy here as it is what I have.

I was a bit confused there until I worked out you've used an imperial feeler gauge.
![]() On the new fangled metric system the clearance spec is 0.1 to 0.2 mm IN and 0.2 to 0.3mm EX. If my conversion is correct, yours look to be in spec. EDIT: Just read Stonesie's post. Assuming the measurements are imperial (which they surely must be) then they're all within spec. Last edited by TamSV; 25-04-11 at 06:49 PM. |
