Default Re: It begins

I'm gonna check the clearances on all the valves and change shims as needed. Changing out the shims doesn't seem to hard from what I've read and seen, it's just time consuming and meticulous. If you think you can check your valves I'm guessing you can change shims.

Changing the belts regardless of condition just so I know when they were put in and that they are new. oil change and coolant change. Gonna check the plugs and change if needed.

Figure will probably just measure out clearances tonight and write down everything. Then tomorrow take out whichever shims are out of spec and bring them into a shop for an exchange Saturday. Slapped all back together hopefully around Sunday with the valves and belts done, depending on how quick I can get those shims. Then Monday oil, coolant and plugs. [thumbsup]
