86ONE Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 Tightening rockers but don't have service manual. :D Tried search but couldn't find anything. :D Anyone know the gap between the rocker and valve? BTW: I know this should be in the mechanics section, but nobody is reading there and i need an answer asap! Quote
Medicine_Man Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 *Post relocated to the appropriate section* Putting it in general discussion won't get it answered any quicker, please realise most people are at work working and probably won't have a chance to answer before they get home tonight. Please use the forums as the sections were designed.. Quote
86ONE Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Posted August 29, 2005 OMG i can't believe i forgot to say what engine! :D It's a 4K-C... :) We took the rocker cover off to find the gap on no. 4 was much larger than the rest, trying to slowly tighten it down to atleast get rid of the annoying tapping noise. :D Quote
Redwarf Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 inlet 8 thou, exhaust 12 thou, if the cam is standard -ish... Quote
rjenman Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 OMG i can't believe i forgot to say what engine! :D It's a 4K-C... :lol: We took the rocker cover off to find the gap on no. 4 was much larger than the rest, trying to slowly tighten it down to atleast get rid of the annoying tapping noise. :D don't do that someone correct me if i'm wrong but i thought about doing that and realised that maybe the gap there is so wide because it is in mid-cycle... btw I have the tapping noise in my 4K-C too. I adjusted mine and it still has the rattling noise so if it works for you i'll try again... I think the parts are just flogged Nevertheless, gregories manual states: intake 0.20mm exhaust 0.30mm there is a procedure in rotating the engine so that certain pistons are TDC when adjusting certain clearances, i can't remember off the top of my head, but its all in the gregories manual. Don't just adjust them all without rotating the engine. BUY A GREGORIES MANUAL :) If you get rid of the rattling drop a post saying so.. Quote
rjenman Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 those measurements are taken at operating temperature too, NOT when the engine is cold ... Quote
Super Jamie Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 someone obviously didn't look very hard Quote
