Hi mate, if she is running OK I would leave well alone, she will keep on running for years! If you are determined, well here you go:

Valve clearences (hot) inlet: 0.3mm (0.012in.)

Exhaust: same as.

Torque settings Rocker shaft bolts 58Nm (43 lbf ft)

Cylinder head bolts 260 Nm (192 lbf ft) with lightly oiled threads.

 

Have you got a picture of her - I will have a look now.

 

Have fun

 

Regards

Daniel

thanks for that, bit late now as i had it off last week which was a nightmare if only i knew. had it skimmed, valves reground and new valve guides and stem seals so hope it worth the trouble.

thanks paul

Nice looking truck mate.

 

What is the problem exactly that you are trying to fix, I am a bit lost as to what the gist of it was.

 

Who added the side bars, was that a previous owner?

 

Robin

 

the problem was/still is a very small amount of oil weeping between the cyl head and block behind the exhaust manifold seems to be a common problem but very annoying as i thought the work done would have cured it problem may be the piston rings or block but not sure. i think i will live with it for now

the side bars were fitted by previous owner dont know who by could find out if needed though.

thanks paul
