I am kinda pissed off at Rawknees for posting the tolerances. All of a sudden valve lash is a whatever the hell you want. Get an 0.006 and a 0.002 feeler gauge. Little one goes and big one doesn't and you are done. Screw the 0.004 feeler gauge or the Kirk adjustment tool.

They need to be at 0.004. If you can't pull that off pay your wrench.

That said, clackity clack is better than silent.

More rant: If by chance your 0.002 gap goes south to say -0.001, your valve does not close. Bad things.

You are in Chicago. I say gear up for a winter project.

Side note, I see pictures of donuts and beer being posted by Rawknees to discredit me.

I do call the mega competent wrench, Rawknees, a pin head now and then. Order of magnitude? You decide.



Go easy on him, I'm hanging with his Mom right now.
