Having carefully checked and double checked my valve clearances I ordered 7 new shims.
On the exhaust cam valves, five clearances are just outside tolerance at 0.34 tolerance is (0.28 - 0.33). All are fitted with 2.80 shims ( measure 2.80 on my micrometer). I ordered 2.85 shims but they are actually 2.90. This has really confused me as I didn't measure before fitting but when I re checked everything they were obviously too tight
I have re-fitted the original shims but it looks like I need to take a micrometer in to the dealership!
Anyone else had this problem?
