2. Starting with the upper tappet, use a .05mm (.002) feeler gauge to set the
valve clearance. Once the gap has been set, tighten the tappet bolt (9mm)
to 80 in. lbs. Repeat the process for the lower tappet.
3. After the valve clearance has been set, grab the flywheel and turn the
engine over counterclockwise TWICE and re check the valve clearance. If
you have done everything correctly, there should be NO gap clearance. If
there is a gap, you will need to repeat this step until no gap is present.
4. Install the upper and lower tappet covers (17mm).
5. Install a new gasket on the cam cover and install the cam cover. Tighten
the bolt (10mm) to 9 ft. lbs.
Congratulations! Your new top end is now complete.
