TB42 Tappet Adjustment

[MikeBossyBos]

I have this from a Haynes manual:

TB42 valve clearance:
COLD:
Intake 0.20(mm), 0.008(inch).
Exhaust 0.20(mm), 0.008(inch).

HOT:
Intake 0.38(mm), 0.015(inch).
Exhaust 0.38(mm), 0.015(inch).

Note: "cold" is 20 degrees C.

I had a mate help me adjust mine last year. About a 40 minute drive to his place so we set it for the hot adjustment. It made a noticeable difference with power and economy.

thanks for that taslucas, the car isnt really in one piece so a warm start isn't all hat practical at the moment

No worries mate. Hope you get it sorted and back on the road:-)

I'll be doing mine this weekend. The ol girl has started to get a bit smokey under load (bit like puffin billy). I spoke to one of our maintenance fitters today who as it turns out is a td42 guru. Said before anything else check air filters, tappets, injectors then fuel pump last.
