848 Valve Clearances Ok?

Discussion in '848 / 1098 / 1198' started by mantzas, Apr 18, 2017.

  1. Last weekend I had some spare time so I replaced the belts on my 848.
    I also measured the valve clearances.

    These are the values for the vertical in mm
    Opening rocker arm - intake 0.14 & 0.16
    Opening rocker arm - exhaust 0.15 & 0.16
    Closing rocker arm - intake 0.10 & 0.15
    Closing rocker arm - exhaust 0.09 & 0.10

    and the horizontal
    Opening rocker arm - intake 0.13 & 0.19
    Opening rocker arm - exhaust 0.15 & 0.15
    Closing rocker arm - intake 0.09 & 0.08
    Closing rocker arm - exhaust 0.11 & 0.11

    The specs on the manual are 0.05 - 0.10 for closers and 0.13 -0.18 for openers but up to 0.25 are acceptable.
    So what do you think, should I reshim them or leave them as they are until next service?

    For the belt tensioning I used the gates app on an iPhone and I highly recommend it.
