A series valve clearances

[E_T_V]

Anyone know what they should be?

I think that the exhausts are 0.014inch / ~0.35mm

Are the inlets the same too?

Can anyone confirm this or have a haynes manual to hand?

Yes that is right 0.014in inlet + exhaust. apart from HLE which are 0.013in in + ex 1.3 Maestro Montego

Thanks muchly. Got some to setup tonight and I've left the book at home!

Cheers again

Inlets should be set to 12 thou - and exhausts to 15 thou, this to allow for increased expansion of the exhaust valve which obviously gets much hotter than the inlet!

Oh well I set both to 0.35mm and it sounds fine. They'll get checked in 500 miles anyway as they are bound to bed in a bit as all the valves have been lapped in.
