Valve tappet clearance adjustment

[carlogt]

tsikoteers can you trust mechanics in gas stations to handle valve tappet clearance adjustments? anyone knows where I can get a good service sa diesel engine ko? (alabang makati taguig area). responses are greatly appreciated.

Know your engine type\model first, ask around or look at the hood for the OEM recommended clearance for exhaust and intake in hot and cold temp. Meron din self adjusting hydraulic tappets na in some cases shim ang adjustments.

gawin natin sa EB yan joke

sa suking gas station with in-house mech na marunong bumasa ng feeler/thickness gauge or kung may makita kang mga pinagpapagawan ng mga jeepney drivers dun mo na pa-adjust. mga experto sila sa pagbukas-sara ng isuzu diesel, pagdating sa loob pare parehas na lang yan.
importante may susunding 0.40 mm gauge. bigyan mo na lang ng tip.

Madali lang yan. 4JA1 hot cold exhaust intake 0.40mm hindi nakakalito.
Magpractice ka na para matuto ka. Short method ang gamitin mo.

How much is valve tappet adjustment ng 4JA-1 dyan sa Central Diesel? For the benefits na rin ng readers at ng TS? Baka one day madaan rin ako dyan e.

[carlogt]

sir dieseldude and 4jgtootsie o nga discount. watchathink? magkano sir?

[4JGtootsie]

Unfortunately we dont do it as part of our service anymore. An exception is cummins engines which we do clearance for its injector and valves.
Central Diesel use to overhaul engines but now we concentrate on calibration.
But honestly you should be able to do your valve clearance as DIY atleast for your own vehicle. Nasa owners manual yan.

wonder dieseldude know how you comment on some of the inquiries here, the TS is from the south so sayang lang pala pagod niya if ever dayuhin kayo dyan for valve tappet clearance adjustment. ako everyday dumadaan dyan.

[4JGtootsie]

The 4JA1 and 4JG2 are the easier engines to adjust the valves because pareho ang clearance ng intake and exhaust at 8 valves lang siya.

Dieseldude is a DIY person, and I am a DIY guy as well.
He reads the thread all the time.

[Dieseldude]

Pasensha na kayo. Madyo busy lang ako lately kaya hindi ko napansin itong "valve clearance" thread natin.

Hindi naman mahirap mag adjust ng valves. Hindi ko lang kabisado ang labor charges namin.

At kung sa Alabang naman nakatira ang ating fellow Tsikoter, mas mabuti na duon nalang sha magpa-adjust ng valves.

This procedure does not require any special tools or equipment. Any good mechanic with a feeler gauge and a few wrenches should be able to do this properly.

up ko lng po ito. nagpaadjust po ako ng valve clearance dahil may "tik" na tunog pag nakastart ang engine. 2000 civic lxi po, pero nandun pa rin ung "tik" na tunog pagkatapos gawin. sabi ng mekaniko antay daw muna ng 1 week, kasi lalapat pa daw un. totoo po ba un o mali adjust? 2nd po hindi niya sinunod ung clearance sa manual na .2mm intake at .25mm exhaust ( sinearch ko lang sa internet) , dahil luma na daw ung sasakyan ko, naging .15mm intake at .16 exhaust. tama po ba ung sinabi ng mekaniko? thanks po in advance

[luffin]

dagdag ko lang po, inikot niya ng clockwise ang crankshaft bago inadjust isa isa ung valve, sa nabasa ko dapat daw counterclockwise ung pag ikot. sabi ng mekanik e pareho lang naman daw un.

In most cases if not all, it does not matter which direction you turn the crankshaft to turn the camshaft. Your cams are eccentrics with a base circle meaning, if the cam follower, in this case you rocker arms or valve bucket lifters are off the cam lobes (flanks and toes) or on the heel or base circle, it gives you the lowest position on the individual cams hence you have the clearance that you adjust. Most engines turn clockwise when viewed from the front except turbines on aircraft, Hondas and acuras and rear mounted bus engines

ahh ok po thanks. dun sa sinabi ng mekanik na 1 week pa daw bago mawala ung tik tik na tunog kasi unti unti daw ang paglapat ng valves, totoo po ba to? tsaka dun sa sinabi nia na hindi na dapat sundin ung clearance sa manual kasi hindi na bago ung sasakyan?
