It's all in the head

Tuesday 28 July

Once again in possession of a set of feeler gauges.   Time to check the cylinder head bolt torque settings.  A pleasant couple of hours, no rush.

LH needed pinching up a bit.   Exhaust valve clearance a bit excessive.  It did sound clicky on that side.  
RH better, tight enough.

All clearances set to .23mm.

Managed to drop the rocker spindle screw retaining washer next to the push rod tunnel.  Fortunately it was easily retrievable with nose pliers.  Could have been a problem if it had found it's way down there.



Plenty of oil swilling around up top end.
