Valve tolerance

[BigLaw]

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.

Easy, peace of mind

I recommend that you upgrade your cam chain tensioner while your at it.This is where any vavle issues will start , theres plenty written about it in this forum,my 2cents.

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.

I just put my 09 R3T back together after a valve check and all were within spec. 21,000 miles.

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.

SORRY But I would do it if I was you, checking the valves is not that difficult to be honest just get a bit more involved when you need to take the cam's out.
