    Valve clearance should be checked and set when cam lobe is opposite valve. At tdc some valves are closed, some are open and some are in between. Turn crank clockwise until you see a cam that is opposite the valve, ie valve is fully closed, then check clearance. Turn crank some more until you can repeat this until all are done.

    No, tappets are not valves mate. They used to be the screw and locknut that you use to adjust your valve clearances. Modern engines tend to have shims on top of buckets that sit on top of the valves. You can,t adjust shims, you have to change them. If you come to Winster, we,ll have a go?

    Just been sorting my tools for the rally and I can,t find my feeler gauges. Can somebody bring some or buy me a set of METRIC ones.? Ingah, can you bring your vacuum gauges? Anyone that wants work done on their bike, please bring your Woirkshop manual? Should be there late afternoon, so once my bike is off the trailer , tent pitched and beer in hand, we can do some jobs.?

    I,m on my own in Passat with bike on trailer.Leaving late morning, arrive early evening Using A21, M25, M40,M1 to jct28. If you want anything carrying or need a lift, post on here and I,ll try to oblige???

    What yorbandit said. Don,t worry about the weather! Forecasts are usually crap and if it does rain, just park the bike and drink more alcohol. hic!

    Mine are self taught too mate and I ain't saying they,re the best, just my way. If anyone wants any work doing at the rally, bring the parts, borrow my tools and I will advise .We can all learn at the Same time!!! Ideally , we can check someone,s valve clearances at the rally and I won,t have to lug this bloody engine around!!!

    It,s just a question of positioning and leverage. We should be able to sort summat out. Can you post pix of your bike on stand and when it,s in position ready to lift.? I may be able to bring something with me that may help.

    Will be bringing my rear paddock stand, do you have bobbins LC? Can help you with suspension.
  21. megawatt
    Oh dear, haven t got an engine crane!!!
  22. megawatt
    If you can bring em with ya, we can give it a go. Shock swaps are easy if we can support the frame/ swingarm spindle. I only have two axle stands and a 10mm spindle to support my bike?

    Just wondered if people are still interested in this. If enough interest in engine maintenance, I will bring my spare GSXR750 engine and do valve clearance and timing checks. Let me know what you want to learn or see and I will bring the tools. Don,t mind working on your bikes, but I,m disclaiming any responsibility if anything goes wrong. Not that I expect it to?
  24. megawatt
    Yup, and hopefully a cut out switch or warning buzzer/ light?
  25. megawatt
    I can measure yours up and make summat for both hopefully?
