Hi all,
Thanks to all who replied to my other post. I fear I have another question.
When checking valve clearances, I noticed that the valves farthest from the distribution belt are influencing one another. That is, the inlet valve clearance becomes higher when the outlet valve is open. This is about
2/1000th of an inch. The problem is also present on the third cylinder, albeit much less so. And even slighter on cylinder 2.Is this just bearing clearance dissappearing under the valve spring load ? It seems a lot of interaction to me, given that it is about half the difference between hot and cold valve clearance. If so, the valves near the distribution belt will always be given fewer clearance, because it is always under load when adjusting.
Or can this be something else troubling me ? Could it be wear ?
Thanks in advance,
Carl
