Im checking my valves and one of my exhaust is right at .22mm. According to the manual that is within the range. Should I leave it and not worry about getting more toward the mid range of the spec.
I wouldn’t be overly concerned as a new engine, when built, still has tolerances that aren’t meshed in with one another (as in, when a motor is run in).One of my questions is has anyone seen a valve this far out as my exhaust valve at .47 and should be worried. To me that is extremely loose. This is my first valve check at 26,400. I do plan on getting them all closer to the middle range. The four valves in the middle of the picture to me are fine. It's all the outside ones in the picture that need to be adjusted. Again any help with this would be appreciated. I can't sleep thinking about this
What method did you use to measure the valves?…….did you respect the method of using the marks on the crankshaft sprocket?…or did you simply measure the clearance between the valve and the opposite part of the cam?….remember that you have decompressors in a single valve per cylinder that may be activated (when measuring) and cause you to take the readings incorrectly…Ok I finished checking the rest and Im little bewildered. Here is a pic of my measurements. I have one exhaust valve at .47. How is this possible. Im a little overwhelmed but think I can do this with some help. If anyone can help I would appreciated it.
“””DON’T PUSH THE REAR PADS””WITHOUT OPEN THE BLEEDERS!!!!……Got it all back together. It started right up and definitely is running better. No leaks! It used to surge a little during idol, now it idols perfectly. It also seems to respond quicker to throttle as well.I put a new air filter and plugs while I was in there. which Im sure helped as well. The old filter was pretty dirty and the plugs looked ready to change as well. Took it for a quick ride and is running great. I couldn't have done it without the help here and the great videos people have done as well. Thanks again. Tires and rear brake pads tomorrow and thats it for now. Time to Ride.
Is there something with the ABS that is affected when you have the top of the motor off?“””DON’T PUSH THE REAR PADS””WITHOUT OPEN THE BLEEDERS!!!!……
The intervention on the valves would not affect the ABS...but he said that his next intervention was to change the rear pads and the rear tire...and since the loss of the rear brake usually it's related with the change of rear pads, that is why i warn to loosen the bleeders to avoid brake fluid backflowIs there something with the ABS that is affected when you have the top of the motor off?
I wouldn’t have thought there’d be any effect on the brakes during that process…
