Great write up...I'll be using this soon too...

torque setting of the valve adjust lock nut
 

What is the torque setting for the valve adjust lock nuts?
and how did you torque up the exhaust side - you did this by feel, I presume because a torque wrench wouldn't fit. In lieu of a torque wrench then, what would be a good torque setting - something like 1/4 turn or 1/2 turn from finger tight?

thanks for the post btw

14 Nm (10 ft-lb), which isn't that tight really, just "nipped up" really.

If you can't get a torque wrench to fit, just work as a guide on the assumption that 14Nm is equivalent to 7Kg of mass applied to the end of a 200mm spanner, or 9Kg on a 150mm spanner.

BTW - I've never in 30 years used a torque wrench to do valve lock nuts and never had one come loose.

Nip up tight..then a further 8th of a turn should suffice IMO.

This needs to be a sticky thread, dont think you can get clearer instructions.:eusa_angel:

Cool thanks for the info

Great job!
This kind of reports push me to self maintain my T�n�r�😁

Think you've convinced me to buy some feeler gauges and do my valve clearances

Ever considered a job at Haynes Manuals?

Brilliant report,and something i shall definitely be using in the future!!...
