1.3 sierra tappet adjustment

Post by islandvitara »

so ive got the camshaft cover off, spark plugs out..now..

i need to set the no.1 cylinder at top dead center on compression stroke - manual states that turn the crank shaft and line the notch up with 0 on the cover, no.1 and no.4 rocker arms should be tight with no movement..

no.1 rocker arm is firm, no.4 is loose, and exhaust is looser than intake?!! is this normal? i rotated the crankshaft 360 degrees and lined it up with the 0 again n checked the 1 and 4 rocker arms and no.1 is loose and 4 firm...but no.1 rocker arm isnt as loose as no.4 when i forst checked it...

is no.4 rocker way out?

wat to do? im good with mechanical things juz need a lil guidence - i can do this lol :cool:

Good work, is satisfying to figure it out and get it working yourself.

That doesn't seem right, sorry, from memory, inlet (hot) 0.23mm and outlet (hot) 0.28mm

You sure thats not thou.
If it breaks, excellent, time for an upgrade
