    I cringed when I saw the dirt falling off the valve cover when you were tapping it. why not blow everything clean with compressed air before you start?

      You're right. I was just crunched for time.

    Outstanding video! I was caught off guard by the cam lever and wasn't sure where to measure the gap. You did a great job explaining this procedure. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. I've subscribed.

    Lol holy cow man dirt falling all over the place . First step to everyone working on valves. Wash or carefully pressure wash your bike.

      The socket itself is just a normal socket with a universal and extension on it.

    Do you check valve clearance between the cam lobe and cam lever or cam lever and shim any help would be great thanks

    • @2WR

      Cam lobe and cam lever

    • @jfricke1188
      @jfricke1188 3 года назад

      Would you get the same clearance if you measured between shim and cam lever?

    my honda xr 150L intake tappet valve clearance is .08mm and exhaust is .12mm(standard).. i brought it back to my dealer for a tune up at 12k km odo. they adjust the intake to 0.10mm and ex 0.12mm . anny disadvantage for not following the standard clearance?

    If the valve clearance is out, what impact does it have to the bike? Is it something you notice while riding?

    • @2WR
      @2WR  5 лет назад

      Eventually you could burn out a valve or worse. You'll definitely notice if your valves are out of adjustment. It'll either be hard starting or start pinging.

    I need help that vent tube that comes out the valve cover mine smokes out of it after it runs for a while??

    • @2WR
      @2WR  5 лет назад +1

      Not sure why it would smoke unless you'll getting a little oil leaking out around the o-ring and dropping onto the cylinder. Pop the vent tube back out and check the o-ring to ensure it's not damage. If it is (or isn't for that matter), take a bead of high-temp silicone around the ring and then place it back it. That should seal it up.

      Good question....probably around 30 hours. I made a habit of checking them once a year.

    I perfectly understood the first feeler guage explanation so either I wasn't listening closely enough or I am starting to understand the Mario way of explaining things from watching too many of your videos but I did notice that your Back in the Garage video's are out of order since I didn't see the new fan you installed on the radiator on your last video. Nonetheless always entertaining.

    • @2WR
      @2WR  5 лет назад

      LOL, "the Mario way of explaining things". Yeah, Back in the Garage vids aren't necessarily in chronological order. Sometimes they sit for a few months and I post them when I need to fill gaps between more timely uploads.

    • @2WR

      Pull the plug. If it's wet you're not getting any spark. If it's dry you're not getting any fuel. That's where I'd start.
