mr_K Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Hi there,My glanza is quite noisey topend im suspecting that my valve clearances are off, Its done 1800miles since forged and the head rebuilt so I dont fink the sound can be piston slap?My question is what clearance should all of the new shims be at? Or do they vary?So for example all my intake side shims are getting replaced do all of them need to have the same clearances?Are these values right:Exhaust 0.012 inches - 0.016Intake 0.006 inches - 0.010 Edited September 14, 2014 by mr_K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Define noisy? As in tapping? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I thought all shims and buckets were the same. I also imagine they all have the same tolerances. Not sure what those tolerances are though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Very unusual for a starlet top end to be noisey.we all know about icv/injector hum but noisey is a bit worrying Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Doesnt the inlet cam gear need tensioning other wise you get a rattle? I might be wrong on this though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 How would you tension it? I thought they just lined up with each other in the appropriate marked teeth and that was that lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mark-tozer Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 yes correct before removing the cams you lock the inlet cam with a m6 bolt which is spring loaded it this isnt done you will have a rattly top end,. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
