Citroen 2CV: Checking valve clearances

After covering 120 miles in my 2CV after an engine overhaul, I carry out valve clearance checks and silence an exhaust blow. I also sort out some wiring, which has been annoying me for 18 months now...
I also use a new microphone. Turns out it's rubbish and suffers from very bad interference from pretty much everything! Sorry. The new mobile mount for my tripod is thankfully more successful.
The featured inspection lamp is a RING RIL3900HP - have a search on the internet and you should find it, perhaps for less than the RRP of £39.99.
Plus, product placement! HubNut items - hats, calendars, T-Shirts and more all available at www.hubnut.org
I thank you.

[@lofty7180]

i'll be taking bets on how long it takes for that shiny new tool kit to get lost amidst the organised chaos of the Hubnut garage.

[@timspooner59]

It has already started! The minute the pack was opened....

[@Scodiddly]

That very annoying noise in the mic is your cell phone talking to the tower - putting it in airplane mode should do the trick. Or getting a mic that's shielded against radio frequency interference.

[@richardcallison1637]

I can lose hours watching HubNut videos! I love the way everything is done in the typical fashion of a home tinkerer (a personal favourite pastime of mine is looking for the tool I just put down!) Glad to see some new tools too. Keep the great vids coming👍

[@paredding]

Similar here - entertainment and makes me feel better after a long day fighting the Acadiane. I am sure at 4:50 -5:00 the nut drops down into the engine! Nice torque wrench though...and handy tip on the spanner to exaggerate movement. Cheers

You could get the valve clearances set right on a Simca but would still sound like a box of screws. Another way of checking for leaks on the exhaust is soapy water.

[@chrisryan3770]

It is so refreshing to see someone use a torque wrench correctly on KZbin. One of my pet hates (and I’ve been known to throw things at apprentices and heavier things at qualified people who are guilty of it) is people who tighten to the click then give it a bit more for luck! You see it all over KZbin. Why even bother using a torque wrench if you’re just going to make up your own torque level anyway? Well done for trusting the precision instrument to do its job. 👍 And yes I know some manufacturers require a set torque followed by an angle but that’s not what I’m jibbering on about here.😃

[@sooty655]

Unless the 2CV is different to all other engines, you shouldn't loosen the head bolts/nuts when you retorque them. Just check/tighten to the final figure (17ft.lbs). As you have loosened them, you now need to do it again in another 200 miles or so.

[@HubNut]

Maybe it's just a personal thing, but I like to just free them a little to ensure they can tighten up a bit. They'll get checked next time I give the car a service anyway.

[@sooty655]

@@HubNut Fair enough if that's what you want to do, but it is defeating the object of the exercise. You initially torque the bolts/nuts to the specified figure, but then they may loosen slightly as things are heated in use and generally settle down. If you are unlucky, this can cause leaking head gaskets so the idea is to let them bed in for a few miles and then pull them down again to the specified torque. By loosening first you are restarting the whole process over.

[@HubNut]

@@sooty655 Fair enough. I see that.

[@Radfordperson]

Pretty much what I thought, I would not have loosened before re-torquing.

[@Mercmad]

Part of my daily routine is working on pre 1980 Mercedes and all the head bolts are always backed off individually when retorqueing the heads and that includes the sidevalve engines which have nuts. The head bolt is designed to stretch a certain amount to allow for heat expansion. So when you back off the bolt ,you are releasing the tension in the length. When it is tightened ,the bolt fist goes to it's new stretch length then the wedging action of the thread increases it according to the amount of toque applied. On the Merc engines, if you simply re tighten , you run the risk of overstretching the bolts, possibly breaking them. Plus the friction between the nut ,bolt head and washer can give a false reading resulting in a loose bolt.

Top tip. Use copper grease instead of exhaust putty. That way any flex in the exhaust will not cause cracked paste and copper grease will keep the joint sealed

[@HubNut]

Thanks. That's what I try to do. I also use a thin smear on the cylinder head before fitting to the barrel.

[@klwthe3rd]

Seems like Hubnut is really trying(and succeeding) on getting his tools and video camera up to a high level of standards. Not so much for the little mouse microphone! Hehe. Nonetheless a great tutorial on how to adjust the valves on a 2CV. I really like the wrench trick tip on how to tell when the valves are fully open or closed. I hope the Rover makes an appearance soon after Hubnut finds the keys. I miss the British style and motoring. Smiles.

I used to be quite the fan of Draper esp when they were still made in Southampton, never had a socket fail or spanner lose its mojo over many long moons working at scrappies. Of course my coveted items I have are King Dick and Britool esp back when I used to work on steam engines and Draper did do the bigger sizes but not in the "slogger" spanners which both KD and Britool did (its a ring spanner or open end spanner with a great big bashing bit on the other end designed to be whacked with a sledge).

Handy tip with the spanner for showing movement of the rockers. I'll remember that one. Here's one I do use, since I've got one of those lovely hex-ended screwdrivers too: put a spanner on the end of it when you tighten the locknut. Makes it far easier to stop the adjustment screw readjusting itself.

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

When (if) you eventually get around to tidying up your garage I'd suggest getting some mobile shelving for your tools so that you can manage the space in the garage a bit better, plus benefit from having your tools close to the work. The roll cages that are used for supermarket deliveries etc. are a good solution for this, and a damn site cheaper than any tool chests are. This place in Manchester can supply used ones from £40 + VAT. www.recohandling.com/Used-Roll-Cages-Containers.html. The delivery might cost more than the cage but as your work requires you to drive all over the place you might as well take a van for a test drive to Manchester. Cut up your existing shelves to fit in the cages and you might manage to maintain a tidy garage. Alternatively you could just adopt a saying of mine; 'It is only a mess to the untrained eye!'.

[@MrLargePig]

I have held my tongue- after all, people do differ. But now you have an actual set of tools, please clean the garage! I'd come to Wales just to lend a hand, but there's a large puddle in the way...In the end, a disorganized work area will cost you time and money, and I rather think you're like me, no extra time, no extra money.We will not speak of this again...

You might like to know my cat became fascinated by this 2CV tappet-setting video, and for a time sat right in front of the telly looking up at it.

Either way, it is unfortunate I can't post a photo of her looking at your rocker arms on KZbin!

Something very pleasing about being able to keep an old car going that is so mechanically simple (relatively). Designed for French peasants living in the middle of nowhere with a barn and a set of tools and a bit of mechanical nous. Still performing the same function, decades on, apparently.

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

If you had had the heads skimmed flat when you fitted the new barrels and pistons you might have even more compression and power, any engineering workshop with a surface grinding machine will do it for about half an hour's labour costs, as the head is held on by just three bolts and the valves are push rod operated you might as well get it done the next time that you decide to check the valve clearances. The additional efficiency of the engine will reduce your fuel consumption and it will work out cheaper to do it than to not do it. I would also recommend getting a digital tachometer to just keep an eye on the revs while running in the new pistons, they are cheap, easy to fit, and it could save you from costly damage. Here is one for less than six quid:- www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-Digital-Tach-Tachometer-Hour-Meter-Gauge-Engine-Spark-Inductive-Motorcycle-/263415189757 - you could even treat TWK to one at that price!

[@HubNut]

You lap the cylinder heads in yourself using an old barrel. The facing is recessed so not easy to get flat. However, the heater does not smell, so I think all is well.

[@GeorgeSPAMTindle]

@@HubNut I remember you doing that now that you mention it! You'd need a skilled turner to machine the heads if the facing is recessed, it's not an easy job to do. I did have a friend years ago who had the compression ration increased on their 2CV when they had the engine rebuilt after cooking the engine, it had a lot more grunt but could be a pig to start sometimes. Maybe it is the barrels that you'd need to have skimmed to do it, but then the push rods would be too long? They did have more money than sense though, I think they had much other work done on it too and cured the starting problems by fitting a twin choke Webber carb, which cost them more than the car originally did. This was in the days when you could pick up a 2CV for under £100! Best left alone if it is all working well. I'd still invest a fiver in a digital tachometer though.
