I didn't take apart the old block yet - I just harvested the pulleys and stuff from it. The rusty pulleys and water pump are on the replacement engine. I don't recall if the little rubber seals were in place on that block, though I did notice they were installed on the old block. I didn't reinstall them... maybe I should. Colin
Hey all - has anyone ever verify that the valve lash specs were correct? Intake .15mm +/- .02mm (.0059 in +/- .0007 in) Exhaust .20mm +/- .02mm (.0078 in +/- .0007 in) I put sythetic oil in mine and need to replace the valve stem guides (who would have thought something like that would cause such a problem). Smokes like a misquito fogger when cold now. Would hate to suck a valve like Collin. Plan to measure the lash before I pull the head, but would love to know the official spec. I cannot imagine that that an incorrect valve lash setting was the cause of the sucked valve in the thread???
