WD-40 Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 Did you pay a mechanic to do the valve clearances or did you do it yourself? Did you have the problems before the valve clearance was done or did they only start after? Quote
Seanyboi25 Posted May 25, 2020 Author Posted May 25, 2020 I had the advice from a mechanic and now it will not work at all Quote
Tiggie Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 How did you do the valve clearances? Did you use A feeler gauge to do them with and where did you get the clearance numbers?I would double check the figures and make sure you have set them right. Quote
WD-40 Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 Did you have the problem before you adjusted the valves or only after? Did you do any other work at the same time?Are you sure you were top dead center on the compression stroke when you adjusted them? And that you weren't on top dead center the exhaust stroke? If you adjusted them on the exhaust stroke they will be wrong. You should check them again. Quote
