yogi bear Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Do i need shims and buckets or just shims? And how many do i need? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yogi bear Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Wil i need 16? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 shims, you need to measure your clearances see whats in tolerance, remove the ones out of tolerance then measure them, then order shim in the size you need Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yogi bear Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Right so deffo leave the ones that are fine? Would it not make sense 2 replace all for fresh ones? Heads been reconditioned but in guessin they didn't replace the shims because the head rattles on idle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If the heads rattling it might be the inlet cam gear, they are sprung and need tensioning I believe.If its not that then and they're in tolerance there's no need to replace them. They are just a solid disc of metal. As long as they haven't worn or scored then leave them be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yogi bear Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 How do you mean sprung tensioning? A tensioner on the cambelt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 The inlet cam is gear driven off the exhaust cam (inside the rocker cover) . If you look at the inlet gear it's split and if removed without putting a locking pin in it moves and needs re tensioning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yogi bear Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Ah right that's worth a look. So how do i check that n retension it. Sorry for all the questions guys. Never dun anythin to the head before Quote Link to post Share on other sites
