I was surprised to see book say same all round valve clearance Having had my 400/4 17 years and being motorcycle mechanic. Valve set to 2 inlet 4thou exhaust because heat.
If it has been sitting for a long time i might recommend pulling the rocker cover and getting a bit of oil on that cam before turning it over a bunch! Glad I could share some info, thank you for watching
Makes sense. I was hoping to get away with a few drops of oil in the spark plug holes, letting it sit and come back and carefully turn the engine with the kicker but I guess that will not build nearly enough oil pressure to get to the top end. Will defn consider your suggestion. Thanks.
Great set of videos very clear and detailed i have just picked up a 400/four in a very similar state and your videos are just what i wanted to seethanks and keep up the 400/4 vids and as a matter of intrest what was the tub of blue stuff you were using in the last vid to clean and polish Graeme
Really really appreciate that folks watch, try to be a mix of helpful and entertaining. Decided to split stuff like carbs and valves as it's useful! The blue cream is called Blue Magic metal polish. It works great, but smells like cat pee as it's got ammonia in it just a heads up 👆

Great video! Not sure I’m quite ready to tackle this on my 400 (which has been stored for years and years), but I learned a good deal. Thanks
