fitting new cams - valve clearance adjustment???

Post by monka »

hey guys, how does the valve/cam system work on the b172 engines? looking at getting some new cams, and just thought, what about valve clearance's?

on my previous car, there where 'buckets' that sat on top of the valves, that the lobes on the cams pushed, and the buckets held shims that where of different size's to get the desired gaps, whats the system on the b172 engines?

also, any benefits from the cams out of a 440 2.0, injection engine?
