VN900 CLASSIC VALVE CHECK. When checking the valve clearance on the vn900 v twin. when the piston is top dead centre do you check both the inlet and exhaust valve on that piston. then get the next piston too tdc and check both valves on that piston. is this the correct procedure. the manual does not make it clear. is just said measure between rocker arm and shim but not if its inlet or exhaust or both.

You can do it if you catch tdc on the correct stroke, but it's always better to rotate the engine after each adjustment.

I want to know the tappet adjustment for Isuzu 4jk1?
A sure sign that it's time for a valve lash adjustment is if your engine is making a loud clicking or tapping noise when starting up or if you experience a loss in engine power. You can find more details on the suggested adjustment frequency here.
https://www.allstatepeterbilt.com/blog/valve-adjustments-explained

How To Check Tappet Clearance
  1. Taking all safety precautions.
  2. Make sure the piston is on TDC. ...
  3. Make sure the engine has cooled down.
  4. Loosen the lock nut of the rocker arm.
  5. Now adjust the tappet clearance between the rocker arm & valve stem by tightening or loosing the nut below the lock nut.
https://www.marinesite.info/2012/02/1why-tappet-clearances-is-given-and-how.html

To adjust the valve clearances, use a spanner or a socket wrench on the crankshaft-pulley bolt. Turn the engine in its normal direction of rotation until No. 1 piston is at the top dead centre ( TDC ) of the compression stroke .

Craftsman lawn tractor yt3000. How do I adjust valves?
remove the plug
use something in the plug hole to feel when the piston is at top dead centre. check the movement of the valves and if they are still moving up and down at this point ,turn the engine again until you get top dead centre
at this point both valves will be closed as this is the compression stroke
adjust the valve clearance to specifications.possible .012" inlet and .014" exhaust both hot

How do you adjust valves
Check valve clearance while the engine
is cold.

1. Turn crankshaft counterclockwise until
piston is at top dead center on the
compression stroke. This prevents the
compression release from holding the
valves open.
2. Insert a narrow screwdriver or rod into the
spark plug hole as a gauge, then slowly
turn crankshaft counterclockwise until the
piston has moved down the bore by 1/4"
(6mm).
3. Using a feeler gauge, adjust
rocker nut to obtain the clearance.
4. Hold rocker nut and tighten the rocker ball
setscrew to the torque valve.
5. Check clearance again and re-adjust, if
necessary.
6. Repeat for other valve.
7. If twin cylinder repeat the above for the other cylinder.

NOTE: On some models, the nut and setscrew
are positioned above the push rod ends.

turn the crank shaft and watch the relationship between the piston position and the cam followers. As the piston nears top dead centre you will see the exhaust cam follower start to move down and the inlet cam follower start to rise up. This will create a rocking motion of the cam followers at top dead centre. This is known as valve overlap assemble the motor in this position. Ensure the valve clearance is backed right off Turn the crank shaft one full revolution and you now have the compression stroke . This places the piston again on TDC and it is at this position you adjust the valve clearance. Check that clearance for the tappets as most engines run .010" and .012"tappet clearance. If the head is fitted last place the push rods in the cam followers if you cannot see the cam followers and it does the same job. When the top of the push rods reach the overlap situation it is just an extension of the cam followers.

How do I adjust the valves on a Briggs and Stratton Intek V Twin
Remove the valve covers look up your valve clearance specs turn the engine by hand until the piston is at top dead center then go 1/4 turn past that and then put a feeler gage for the valve clearance you need for that valve and snug up the adjustment nut. Check your oil when your done some oil will spill out when opening the valve cover.

Hi, check the valve clearances and also check that the rocker posts are not loose in the head. The valves should be 5 thou inlet and 7 thou exhaust with the piston just past top dead centre of compression stroke. If the valves or posts are loose the decompressor on the camshaft won't function and this will cause your problem. Hope this helps, regards Phil.

Need valve lash(clearance) settings for 1983 Yamaha XS 650 SK motorcycie intake valve setting and exhaust valve settings example 0.006 in or 0.008 in etc
Inlet .0024 (two and a half thou.)
Exhaust .006" (six thou.)
(6) Set the valves:
Set the valves on the cylinder on the COMPRESSION stroke. Put the wring wrench on the locknut on top of the valve, and turn it anti-clockwise. It will be tight. Turn it about one quarter turn, and keep the wrench on it. Then, using the crescent wrench turn the square headed screw either in or out depending whether you need more or less clearance. We are talking about fractions of a turn here. Then lightly lock the locknut, holding the square headed screw with the crescent wrench so it doesn't move, and check the clearance. Repeat until it's exactly right. When it's exactly right, tighten the locknut. Recheck.
(7) Rotate the engine one revolution exactly:
Shine the flashlight into either sparkplug hole and rotate the engine slowly so that the piston goes down once and comes back up. Stop when it's at Top Dead Centre.
(8) Now do the other cylinder:
Check the gap and set if necessary the other cylinder's valves
Repeat steps (5) and (6) for the other cylinder.
(9) Button it up:
Replace the valve adjustment covers, making sure to keep the gaskets or o-rings in place, the bike will have one or the other.
That's all there is to it!
