inspecting and adjusting valve clearance is not overly complicated, it is just time-consuming. Quite honestly once you have a basic understanding of how to check the valve timing, you quickly realize that removing the plastics is the most complicated part of this process.
Step 1. Remove the Plastics
The first part you need to do is get all the plastics out of the way. It's recommended that you start with the seats, then move on to the center counsel. After that, unfortunately your attention will go to the gas tank which has to be removed.
Step 2: Remove Additional Parts
The hard part of prep is now over and you can focus on the engine. You will want to remove the fan cover so that you can move the Camshaft, which will be needed to ensure it is Top Dead Center (TDC). You should then be able move onto removing the spark plugs and the valve covers. To keep dirt and dust from getting into the valves, it is recommended that you only remove one valve cover at a time. once the valve clearance has been checked for one side, cover it back up and move to the other.
Step 3: Inspecting and Adjusting Valve Clearance
Once you have the valve covers off, you will need to determine how to identify if your valves are at TopbDead Center (TDC). This will vary by machine and model, so you will want to verify the method used to identify TDC for your machine. Once you determine you are at TDC you can start inspection your valves.
The best method for understanding this process is probably to watch the video. In short, you will find the allowable tolerance level for your machine and use a feeder gauge to measure the space between the valve head and the acrew where it gets pushed down. If adjustments are needed you will loosen the bolt, turn the screw to get the appropriate clearance level, and tighten. Make sure to check your valve timing again once you have retightened your screw to ensure you are within tolerance.
Once you do this with the first valve, it will be even easier to complete this process for the other valves. one final note, make sure you identify which valves are intake and which are exhaust valves. They will probably have different tolerances, so you will want to ensure you know which valves are intake versus exhaust.
Once this is done, you can start reversing the process and putting it all back together. If you have other maintenance or new parts you plan to install though, this could be a great time to do it as you already have so much of the machine taken apart.
We hope this is helpful and as always, we hope to see you on the trial!
