Member Contributer awacs Posted February 3, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hey all, Gee, another adjust or not thread. How exciting! Fifth gen with about 97k miles on it: Here's where I'm at. I have a few that are loose by +0.01 mm over max clearance, one at +0.02 mm, and the worst at +0.04 mm. Since they are loose and not tight -- no reason to pull the cams, right? On the tight side, I have one intake valve at -0.02 mm under min clearance, and one at -0.01 mm under. The latter is the inside intake valve on #3, which is a bear to measure anyway, so who knows. Oh, and unfortunately of the two that are tight, one is on each cylinder head. Naturally. Would you swap shims or no? I know, they're out od tolerance and I probably should. Just figured I'd put this out there. Thanks, Aram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACIFICMAN Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I am just curious. Since you know the measurements, haven't you already done most of the worK? I am honestly just asking, not editorializing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer awacs Posted February 3, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 3, 2013 Pacificman, It's a fair question. My first response was that I find removing the cams to be a pain -- but it's been a long time, and you're right. It's not a big deal. Today didn't go smoothly, so there's a piece of me that wants to stop right here. One of those days. That's probably a piece of it. You're right on I think. I need to wait until I'm less mentally tired, and it will be fine! Aram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACIFICMAN Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I get it. Sometimes the ______ fights back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer awacs Posted February 3, 2013 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 3, 2013 Indeed it does. Sometimes you need to walk away. (But I hate this because my viffer is my main commute vehicle and car traffic sucks!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
