 |
|
Could someone direct me how to adjust (and specs) the valve clearances?
When I had the valve covers off, I do not remember seeing any way to adjust them?
Thank you.
Regards,

The adjustment is done with shims under the followers. AML supply shims in different thicknesses which are used to set the clearances.
Basically, you measure and record all clearances, then you remove all the shims and record what thicknesses are in place. Then you work out what you actually need at each location. Then you work out which you have and which you need to buy.

Pay attention the clearances are different from US cars to 'normal' cars.

Not at all, but US cars are depoluted and the compression ratio is different from all other cars ( I wrongly said 'normal' cars...)
