    Cam shaft questions?

    It is time for valves to be checked for clearances. My questions are 1) should I be considering getting some cam shaft mods done? 2) what are my options? 3) what do I need to adjust the valves myself? Thanks

    Getting ready to call it a day but on the cam tensioner if you have 10.80mm after pushing it in with your finger do you need a spacer? Never mind got it 16mm or better requires a spacer.

  6. Using Black RTV when replacing cam cover gasket.

    I know there's discussion on cam cover gaskets, but does anyone use a sealant when replacing a cam cover gasket? I'm considering a thin coat of Permatex Black RTV. Thanks guys!! :)

    Removing the Cam Ladder

    After measuring the the valve clearances I found the number 3 exhaust valves slightly too tight i.e. .12 and .14, they should be at least .15 mm. In order to replace the shims with the correct thickness the cam ladder and cams have to be removed. The manual says the cam ladder bolts are...

    Cam tensioner blues

    I know this topic has been beat to death, but I gotta get this off my chest. WTF is up with the timing chain wear? At 25k miles I started to hear the intermittent "click-click" and I checked the tensioner depth which was at 17.2mm. I installed the spacer and tried it for another 500 miles and...

    Cam chain replacement

    Hiya all, Have any of you guys replaced the cam chain yourselves? How big/hard/easy is it to do?
