Iveco Daily manual says 0.5 +/- 0.05mm, wider would be slightly more low end torque, slightly less top end power. Pulling a van with an NA engine I would go with the fiat / iveco gap.

Hi,,thanks for the info..does the Iveco daily have my engine (8140.67) & are all 2.5 variations the same valve clearance.?

Yes same engine the daily manual lists the clearances for about 6 variations all same clearance will see if I can send you a link later.

your`e a good man ...thanks

Got it, Thanks again...seems that the Russek manual is wrong. I wonder how many more errors there might be with this manuel ?

Seems to be a difference of opinion anyway I have a german third party manual that also says:

"Die Spiele aller Ventile betragen 0,40 mm bei einem 2.5-Liter-Motor bzw. 0,50 mm beim 2.8-Liter-Motor. "

The 'play' for all valves should be 0.40mm in a 2.5l engine and 0.50mm in a 2.8l engine.

aghhhhhh now i`m confused...but i think i should trust what the Fiat handbook
says 0.50mm.

When in doubt, always take the larger clearance.
