OK a little help with valve adjustments here.

So i've got the valve cover removed, and i took the feelers guage that i have with the thinest blade of .005 (.127mm), and i thought i'd see what was going on with my valve train.

I also used one with .006 (.152mm) and .007 (178mm), I think it was the intake side on #1 and #4 that the .005 (.127) wouldnt fit between the lobe and shim, and the rest were between .006, and .007.

Does this sound like my valves are a little tight?

 

Yes, and what feeler gauge set only goes down to 0.005 inch ??
Buy another set soon, and plan on buying shims from Chacal.

 

Yeah i plan to get a better set, just thought i'd take wack at it :idea:

 

I'm NOT recommending (necessarily) these folks as a source, they just had the best description and a pic. K-D Tools #2274: http://www.toolsource.com/feeler-gauge- ... d=googleps

 

Another tip is when getting the shims out - stuff a rag into the cam chain tunnel. If a shim should go down the hole, it will be a lot of grief trying to get it out.
