OK, so I have searched and can't find a thread related to my situation, maybe because people are smarter and more experienced than me. The question is pretty much spelled out in the topic description.
The crank, rods, piston and cylinders are 2.0, the heads are machined 1.7, what measurement do I use for the valve adjustment? 1.7 or 2.0? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I am leaning towards 1.7 but would like to get an educated opinion from the group. Help please, I want to re-do the valve adjustment before I mess with anything else. |

Your 1.7 heads are unlikely to have sodium filled exhaust valves, so the setting is .006" all the way around. You'll need to reset them at 300 miles, then 1500, and every 3000 thereafter. BE SURE you calculate the deck height and combustion chamber volume accurately and adjust the cylinder base shims accordingly or you're gonna have WAAAAAAY too much compression. The Cap'n

The Cap'n Thanks, I'll adjust the valves then check compression and see where it is at. |
