Thanks

Im watching Kerry's valve shim adjustment video atm, I checked mine earlier by turning the engine over till I could fit the largest possible shim under the cam lobes.
Here are my findings:
Right Exh:   .0045" -   .114mm
Left Exh:     .0080" -  .203mm
Right Int:    .0030" -  .076mm
Left Int:      .0035" -  .089mm

.03mm - .05mm is the correct range right?
Is it common for the clearance to be too large?
That .008" seems to be farthest out so Ill double check it tomorrow.

They are rubber. Rubber + heat and age = cracks. New ones are (IMHO, and assuming you shop for best price including whatever you need to include) worth it.
1990 GS500EL - with moderately-ugly paintjob.
1982 XJ650LJ -  off the road for slow repairs

Yeah, those look large.  I think clearances usually decrease  :dunno_black:

correct range is .03mm - .08mm

For your maintenance pleasure, see the tappet clearance procedure

Buy new ... These are 5-8 year items, and swapping it from another - you never know what state it is in.
Cool.
