I know i'm just being stupid but wanted to check just to reassure myself...
I'm fitting a GSR 285 cam in a 1242, its a regrind so i've got top hat shims as i'll prob need to make up the clearances. I thought i knew what i was talking about until i read a thread about fitting a P75 cam where everyone was talking about using P75 clearances,
so just to confirm, i want inlet = 0.4mm and exhaust = 0.5mm +- 0.05mm ???
i measured the clearances of my current cam, starting from the pulley end:
1: 0.47mm
2: 0.45mm
3: 0.45mm
4: 0.4mm
5: 0.35mm
6: 0.5mm
7: 0.42mm
8: 0.45mm
I understand that as it wears the clearances get smaller, which makes some of these a bit odd unless they were incorrectly shimmed at some point?
Thanks
Jamie
