Valve tolerance

BigLaw said:

So at 19,000 on the clock this is where the valves were on my 2008. Have the valves checked at 20K. I'll do it at 40K again. I thought I heard them when she was cold but when it warmed up the noise went away. I thought it was cold injectors. Crisis averted though. 20K service at Ray Price in Raleigh NC: $580 including new tappets and extra shop time.

Interesting to see that all those out of tolerance had opened-up and not closed-up as I would have expected.

It would be useful to know if others have found this, it would make me delay my 10k inspection that should be done soon.

Just did mine at 10000 and 2 had closed to 0.05 (inlet) and 1 closed down to 0.12 (ex)
Now got a nice new cam chain (looks nothing like the old one!) guides (had the old bendy one in) fitted tripples and it runs better than I do.

Umm - looks like the 10k check is back on schedule then.
