How to tell if you have wrong valve clearance

[@gixxis3264]

Taken ages to find this information in such a forthright manner ; straight to the point & no drivel - Thank You

Very nice video indeed! I've been adjusting valves on and off for 50 years since I started driving/motorcycling and I've always adjusted way too loose compared to how you demonstrated, the correct method. I'm servicing my diesel generator tomorrow, post break-in; this includes valve clearances. I'll be interested to note any differences in engine noise when I finish. Thanks for the video, very helpful.

Nice. Thank you for sharing.

Little something I'm going through, if all of your exhaust valve clearances are too tight, keeping the valves noticably open, you will have glowing red exhasut manifold over time. My VQ3.7L vhr is supposed to be between 0.011-0.015... all of them are 0.008 after lapping the valves. Im a rookie

How would oil get in the cylinder from the valves?

[@TheAbJGarage]

Wrong valve clearance cannot directly cause oil leaking. However, if the valve clearance is too tight or too loose, it can cause engine performance issues such as poor fuel efficiency, misfires, and increased wear on engine components. This increased wear can lead to oil leaks over time. Tight valve clearance in conjunction with bad valve seal can cause oil leaking into the cylinders. Wrong valve clearance alone won't!

Recommended every 60k miles in my 2016 Kia Rio. It's a complex procedure on a DOHC VVT engine.

Hi i have ns200 should i do valve clearance i have run my bike 17000km my ns200 2020 model

anual suggests every 2nd or 3rd service you have to check valve clearance and adjust accordingly. no service center does it as they are not confident of their work plus they will only do it if there is a sound

Thank you brother

How can i tell if the valve adjustment was performed in my car?

[@TheAbJGarage]

The only reliable option is to measure the clearance and confirm yourself! If you hear increased tapping obviously the clearance is out of order.

Can it cause car to run lean?

[@TheAbJGarage]

On which engines?

[@nishatkhan5713]

My engine is not starting would it be because of this

[@TheAbJGarage]

I don't think so! Valve clearance issues are not known to cause a no start situation unless they are extremely off, which usually happens after cylinder head reinstallation. Please look for either fuel or ignition related problems, those are known to cause no start situation
