About the valves, it seems when I did mine, some seemed too tight and a few were a little loose and causing the tapping noise. If they were that tight when the engines cold, I imagine they are even tighter when it's warmed up. I coudn't get the 0.004 feeler gauge in the exhaust space which is supposed to be 0.006 to 0.008. I was reading some valve adjustment posts on VR and it seems several of them mentioned the valves being too tight when they inspected theirs the first time. I wonder if they normally come from the factory too tight? It seems like there imight be a trend forming. Maybe this is why they rarely need adjusting at the 600 mile service. |
I know this is a month old thread but thought it was relevant. I was told by the mechanic at the stealership that the when the valves for the 50 get out of adjustment they actually tighten instead of loosen, as I initially thought. So when they tighten you don't get the full compression thus less efficiency results. Anyone else hear this?
