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.

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.
