    Very nice video indeed! I've been adjusting valves on and off for 50 years since I started driving/motorcycling and I've always adjusted way too loose compared to how you demonstrated, the correct method. I'm servicing my diesel generator tomorrow, post break-in; this includes valve clearances. I'll be interested to note any differences in engine noise when I finish. Thanks for the video, very helpful.

    Little something I'm going through, if all of your exhaust valve clearances are too tight, keeping the valves noticably open, you will have glowing red exhasut manifold over time. My VQ3.7L vhr is supposed to be between 0.011-0.015... all of them are 0.008 after lapping the valves. Im a rookie

    My bike is having a hard time to stay on idle when the engine is cold... I have to pull the choke and once the engine is hot enough the bike idles... And also my bike is not idling smoothly

      I don't know what bike you have but most probably it is spark plug or carburettor related issue. Remove the spark plug and inspect it's condition. Strong spark is very crucial for smooth idle. If the spark plug is fine, then proceed to cleaning and turning the carburettor. Correct fuel and proper spark I all it needs!

    How would oil get in the cylinder from the valves?

    • @TheAbJGarage

      Wrong valve clearance cannot directly cause oil leaking. However, if the valve clearance is too tight or too loose, it can cause engine performance issues such as poor fuel efficiency, misfires, and increased wear on engine components. This increased wear can lead to oil leaks over time. Tight valve clearance in conjunction with bad valve seal can cause oil leaking into the cylinders. Wrong valve clearance alone won't!

      anual suggests every 2nd or 3rd service you have to check valve clearance and adjust accordingly. no service center does it as they are not confident of their work plus they will only do it if there is a sound

      I don't think so! Valve clearance issues are not known to cause a no start situation unless they are extremely off, which usually happens after cylinder head reinstallation. Please look for either fuel or ignition related problems, those are known to cause no start situation

    How can i tell if the valve adjustment was performed in my car?

    • @TheAbJGarage
      @TheAbJGarage  9 місяців тому +2

      The only reliable option is to measure the clearance and confirm yourself! If you hear increased tapping obviously the clearance is out of order.
