    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

checked valve clearance here is what I got


Exhaust
1-.049

2-.076

3-.064

4-.076

intake

1-.051

2-.076

3-.051

4-.051
 
Nice numbers, but is that in nanometers or miles? :-k

It appears that maybe they are the metric APPROXIMATIONS on a set of INCH feelers.

If you would like some help translating them, see the end of my sig. :o

Hi Walter, If that is in mm, then you are golden. The range is .03 to .08 mm though many members run .09 and .10. Ray

The .051, .064 and .076 mm look like legit feeler gauge measurements, but not sure how you arrived at .049 unless you combined 2 smaller feeler guage strips?
Anyhow, you really don't need to touch anything this time around. Someone's already done a good job recently?

I gapped one out to .10 last time I did the clearances, and I was worried that it was too much. Good to know that it's a normal practice. I did all the other ones within normal specs.
