Re: B14 valve adjustments
Well really you should rtfm, but here goes.
Remove the valve cover
Turn the engine until the first cam lobe is pointing vertically
Loosen the locknut on the rocker
Check the gap with a feeler gauge and adjust until it just catches the blade that meets the desired spec.
Tighten the locknut
Repeat for each valve.

Re: B14 valve adjustments
well, I don't have the fm that's why I'm asking in the first place
"Repeat for each valve" as if intake and exhaust valve are similarly adjusted
Thanks for rep

Hello and welcome.

Voila! Now you have the "fm" (factory manual - )
Anyway, you'll need three hands. One to hold the feeler gauge, one for the tappet adjuster and one for the locknut.
Two points:
1) do it with engine cold
2) always turn the engine by the crankshaft in it's normal direction of running.

Re: B14 valve adjustments
Yeah, the fine manual is always your friend. If the car is a high miler, you might need to set use a thinner feeler gauge than the recommended one to compensate for wear in the rocker arm.... or at least that is what I used to do to stop it clacking ^_^

Re: B14 valve adjustments
What you mean? Instead of the regular adjustment, 15/20 i guess, use less? like 10/15?bogbasic wrote:Yeah, the fine manual is always your friend.

Re: B14 valve adjustments
On LPG you want to make the gap slightly bigger rather than smaller

Re: B14 valve adjustments
adjust the exhaust valves at 0.25 mm instead 0,20 mm (cold)
keep the inlet valves to the normal gap
