I was busy at work with conferences, but got back for a Sunday afternoon in the garage. I’m trying out a new kerosene heater that seems to have solved my cold weather issues.
Once I had it into double digits Celsius I finished multi-checking the gaps:
Confirming the first round of measurements:
SPEC: exhaust valves 0.19 – 0.24mm Intake valves 0.12mm to 0.17mm.
red = tight, white = spec, pink = on the cusp of tight:
Cyl 1 Cyl 2 Cyl 3 Cyl 4
EX 0.18 0.18 0.2 0.19 0.19 0.19 0.19 0.21
IN 0.15 0.14 0.13 0.13 0.10 0.13 0.11 0.12
Things are pretty tight. CoG has good resources on shim details. Tomorrow the cams come out, I measure what shims I’ve got, do some maths and order new shims for the tight valves. This means that perhaps next weekend I can turn a corner and actually start putting this thing (which is looking like a disassembled Concorde) back together again!
