Hi.
I roughly checked the valve timing on my Cali II, it seemed to be outside spec., but I would like to get more accurate readings.
The specs in the manual apply for a rocker cleareance of 0.15mm. Mine are set to 0.20mm.
So here's my plan - with a degree wheel on, of course:
Start at TDC. Slide a 0.05mm feeler blade between the stem and rocker, slowly rotate the engine until the blade binds, and note the angle. Then continue engine rotation until the point where the blade is released, and note that angle. Same for other valve. Repeat process for other cylinder.
I have never done this before, so I thought I'd check if this method sounds OK, if there's a better method, if I am missing something etc...
How accurate should the valve timing be?
