Really? My manual says
(hot)
inlet 0.15mm
Outlet 0.25mm
Cheater, yours are about 0.25 and 0.3, yes? Am I gonna be burning valves?

Re: Valve clearance
Yep, I know, and they are equivalent to 0.25 and 0.3 mil. Quite a bit larger gap than what I've been using.

I set up my valves hot at 0.008" ( 0.20 mm ) inlet and 0.010" ( 0.25 mm ) but the spec sheet for the cam gives these figurescamB wrote:Really? My manual says

Re: Valve clearance
I fitted roller rockers with hydraulic lifters. Never have to worry about clearances ever again. Only down side is that they rattle for about 10 seconds after motor has started till they pump up properly. ;)

Re: Valve clearance
mate the biggest downside is the crapy hyd profile that
good for about 4600rpm
hyd cams suck bad
and you cant get a aftermarket one

Re: Valve clearance

Re: Valve clearance
My rev limiter is set at 5500rpm, hydraulic lifters are OK till then, but beyond, your into solid lifter country. ;)
