Re: Valve clearances

Hi guys
Thanks for the replies much appreciated
As I have the covers off and have time I’m going to give it a go and see if I can get all at 0.013
May regret it after a few hours + but at least I will have my own satisfaction of believing they are close

thanks again
Phil

Thanks both
