How to adjust tappets?

How To Adjust Tappets

1. Jack the front right wheel up, using a trolley jack. 
2. Open the bonnet and remove the airbox, using a 
philips screwdriver. 
3. Remove the rocker cover, using a 10mm socket. 
4. Turn the wheel until 1/2 or 3/4 or 5/6 or 7/8 are “Rocking” and the rockers are both at the same height. This is where the left one is closing (up) and the right one is opening (down). 
5. Adjust the correct tappets shown below, using a 11mm socket and a feeler gauge. 
6. Put the engine back together and start the car. 

What does “Rocking” mean? 

“Rocking” is a term used when the rockers open and close 
the valves. 


 

Theory 

If 1/2 is “Rocking” adjust 7/8 
If 3/4 is “Rocking” adjust 5/6 
If 5/6 is “Rocking” adjust 3/4 
If 7/8 is “Rocking” adjust 1/2 

Correct Gap (mm) 

1 = Exhaust 0.3mm 
2 = Inlet 0.2mm 
3 = Exhaust 0.3mm 
4 = Inlet 0.2mm 
5 = Inlet 0.2mm 
6 = Exhaust 0.3mm 
7 = Inlet 0.2mm 
8 = Exhaust 0.3mm 

Please check that the units are correct and for the correct rockers.

Selamat Hari Raya

Salam sejahtera & Salam 1 Malaysia...


Kebelakangan ni gua betul2 busy kurang update. Ada banyak meterial, tp berkesempatan nk kongsi info sama lu org. InsyaAllah lps raya ni blh tenang dan byk masa utk kongsi dgn lu org. 

Bg yg nk balik kampung tu, tolong periksa kenderaan lu org. Cek minyak hitam atau blh service sendiri kalau masa suntuk. Periksa keadaan tayar dan tekanan angin pada tayar. Jangan lupa jugak check alignment. 

Elakkan dari berlaku kecelakaan di hari perayaan. Untuk yg ada family, kena kesian kat anak bini lu org klu keta rosak tersadai tepi jalan yg berpunca dr lu sendiri tak periksa kereta. Akhir sekali kalau tau nk jalan jauh tu rajin2 la sembahyang musafir. 


Untuk kesempatan ni gua nk ucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Maaf Zahir dan Batin.
