Dear all,
I get some very concerning readings of the exhaust side valve lash at 24k. Just to confirm, the exhaust valves on a cylinder, check at the same crank position as the intake? By inference, this should be correct because there is no overlap between opening in this triple... is it?
If I read my exhaust lash correctly, and I have not yet experienced a chordal failure (because the reading I get would indicate massive beat-in), I can only infer that the specifications are incorrect in the manual?
Kind of like their crackpot specified drive chain slack?
Did the factory set the valve lashes to the same spec all around initially, and the lash is in fact rather stable?
All my stator-side exhaust valve lashes are at .003". The clutch-sides are .006". Specified minimum is .010"!! In all likelihood it is me not measuring correctly... I'll go back and triple-check... Any input welcome.
