SPECIAL PROCEDURES ENGINE
5.4.1
Setting the RPM
RPM is set by the manufacturer and should not need
readjustment! When adjustments are necessary this can
only be done with the help of an interface to a computer
and special software to get access to the microprocessor.
If readjustment of the RPM is necessary, please contact
your Whisper Power Service Centre for advice.
5.4.2
Adjusting valve clearance and
retightening the cylinder head bolts.
Both procedures have to be carried out with a cold engine.
When both procedures are carried out be sure to retighten
the cylinder head bolts before adjusting the valve
clearance. When retightening the cylinder head bolts,
drain the coolant by removing the drain plug (ref. to fig. 3
till 6).
Loosen the bolts slightly, remove the rocker assembly (the
rocker arms, shaft, and stays) and then retighten the bolts
to the specified torque in the numerical order illustrated
(ref. to fig. 28).
Tightening torque:
M10 bolt 75-85 Nm
M8 bolt 20-30 Nm
Rocker stay tightening torque:
M8 bolt 15-22 Nm
The clearance of both (intake and exhaust) valves should
be 0.25 mm in cold condition. Set the piston of the first
cylinder to be adjusted to top dead centre (T.D.C.) of
compression stroke.
The T.D.C. of compression stroke can be found by
aligning the T.D.C. mark (notch) on the crankshaft pulley
with the mark on the gear case (ref. to fig. 29).
First align the T.D.C. mark for the No. 1 cylinder. Confirm
that the valves do not move up or down when the
crankshaft is turned about 20 degrees in normal and
reverse direction of rotation.
If the rocker arms move piston no.1 is on the T.D.C. of the
intake or exhaust stroke. In such case turn the crankshaft
360° in the direction of engine rotation again. No. 1 piston
is now at T.D.C. of the compression stroke.
After adjusting the valves of cylinder 1 adjust the valve
clearance of the remaining cylinders in firing order 1 – 3 –
2. Turn the crankshaft 240 degrees clockwise from the
T.D.C of cylinder 1 to the T.D.C of cylinder 3. Adjusts the
valves of cylinder 3 and turn the crankshaft further
clockwise to the T.D.C of cylinder 2.
