After setting the clearance to .010" with your feeler gauge, with the gauge still in place, rock the prop back and forth a bit to see if the clearance gets larger, i.e. the gauge gets looser. If it gets looser, then re-adjust at this loosest point to net .010" clearance. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x32 An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory. - Friedrich Engels Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=294151#294151 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:48:23 AM PST US From: Lynn Matteson Subject: JabiruEngine-List: Re: I think what you may be encountering is that when you have the other valve fully depressed, the valve spring forces the camshaft away from its otherwise "neutral" position, causing the adjacent valve clearance to increase. I never thought about this before you mentioned it, but to me it is a possibility. This points out that the cam is floating in about .002" of oil, eh?
