cheers, i'll give it a go at that.

are you meant to set them hot? i've only ever done tappets on heavy diesel generators and we did them cold.

cheers

If you set em cold there is a chance the clearance will become less once they are hot due to expansion etc....Well in theory anyways!

If you set em hot the clearance will remain the same.

Good luck :lol:

they clearances actually get bigger when you set them cold believe it or not. due to the fact that the heat is at the bottom of the valve
