Where do you put the feeler gauge on a valve?
Get out the .022″ feeler gauge and place it between the top of the valve stem and the rocker arm tip. Snug down the rocker “just” until you begin to fell resistance. You should be sliding the feeler gauge back and forth gently on stock style slotted rocker arms, or gently side-to-side if using roller tip rockers.
What is the gap between the valve stem and rocker arm?
There will be a small gap between the valve and rocker arm, known as valve lash. You can use this feeler gauge to check whether the space between the rocker arm and valve stem is as per the engine manual. Check the engine manual for the proper valve lash size.
How do you adjust the intake valve height?
To adjust the intake valves, insert a 0
How do you measure the gap in a spark plug?
Measure the existing gap of the spark plug. Using your gap gauge or feeler gauge, run the tool through the electrodes to determine the measurement. Take note of the measurement and compare it to the recommended setting listed in the owner’s manual.
How do you find the gap on a feeler gauge?
Read the measurement printed on the gauge to determine the gap size. Once you find a feeler gauge that has friction when you put it into the gap, pull it out and look at the thickness measurement listed on the side. Check the label on the side of the gauge to see if it’s listed in thousandths of an inch or hundredths of a millimeter.
What do you call a wire feeler gauge?
This type of gauge is termed a wire feeler gauge or a spark plug gap feeler gauge, owing to its principal use for setting the gap on spark plugs for combustion engines. While many feeler gauge sets are available as standard items for purchase, there are also suppliers who will create customized feeler gauges to meet specific needs or applications.
What does a go no go feeler gauge do?
Go/no-go feeler gauges are designed to simplify the interpretation of the clearance or gap value by reducing the need to rely on the user’s “feel” of the gauge, instead bracketing the clearance or gap value with a greater than/less than tolerance window.
What kind of GAP sensor is a GAP sensor?
Air, pneumatic, and electronic feeler gauges can be considered gap sensors or gap sensing instruments depending on their display capability. Gap switches, gap sensing switches, and gap sensor switches provide an output to trigger activate or deactivate factory machinery.
