hi Bob the valve clerances for a pre xflow are

inlet 0.008in (0.20mm)

exhaust 0.018in (0.46mm)

this is the settings for a standard cold engine

 

for the GT modle they are

inlet 0.010in (0.25mm)

exhaust 0.023in (0.58mm)

 

and the manual also states that the are to be done by the rule of nine

 

hope this helps

Matt

whats the rule of 9?

[escort21]

whats the rule of 9?

 

Say you start with no1 valve fully open.....the valve you need to adjust will add up to 9,

 

Eg no1 open...so no8 gets adjusted

no 2 open so no7 gets adjusted etc

 

Think that makes sense

[bashmk1]

oh i got yer.

 

ive never done valve clearances like that before, ive always got number 4 rocking and adjusted number one. number 2 rocking then adjusted number 3 and so on.

How do you know if the valve is fully open?

[flyingbanana]

the valve u are changing will go down ie 1 and 6 will be fully down and piston will be at the top...thats when they are fully open
