Adjusting tappets

[Alex]

Ok I've fitted a new cam and a different head,the heads been torqued down and I've just put the rockers on.
Is there a base setting for the adjustments so I dont spend an age trying to get the gap right?
Obviously the adjustments are completely out of whack, I just thought maybe its screws all up or half way or something?

Thanks
Alex

Just set in the usual way but may need a bit more twiddling than usual - shouldn't be a big deal.  Note that if non-Triumph cam the specified clearances may be different from the Triumph book figures - check the data sheet that came with the cam (probably)....

Cheers

Thanks Nick, Mk3 cam as discussed ;-)
I just hoped there may be a quick way:-))

Spanner, screwdriver and feeler gauge.
Takes 20mins tops for a GT6. How quick do you want it to be?

You take your radio, you sit down on the tire, & you put your Cold Drink on top of the battery.
It's wonderful.

Just make sure it's not in a metallic container or it may turn into a warm drink sooner than you expected ;-)

Its a Triumph man's priviledge to adjust his valve clearances!

[don cook1]

Its a very quick job...unless, of course, you have worn rockers!

[Alex]

All done.....then I remembered I'd not torqued down the pedestals.
I'll do em again then ;D

Hello Richard,

have you noticed that where they drink very cold beer, t is virtually tasteless, no flavour whatsoever.  Warm is a relative term anyway, live beer should be served at about 13 degrees centigrade, hardly warm?
