As you all know I am currently working on a How To for the tappet inspection. Well I am glad to say that it has been completed, the inspection that is. All I have to do tommorrow is download and edit the pictures and prepare the written material.
First off let me say the more I take this machine apart the more impressed I am with it
I won't reveal my clearance findings here right now because I want to ask a couple of questions.
1) In the Shim under bucket configuration do the clearances tighten up with wear or loosen up? I think as the valve seat wears or the seat on the valve wears the tolerances would tend to tighten up. What do you folks know or think?
When given the tolerances for the exhaust valves @ 0.008"-0.012" , it would be better to have the readings near the larger end. Yes? No?
