Well folks need a bit of help,lol, anyone know what the tappet clearances are for the inlet and exhaust and what the compressions should be for each cylinder, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tappets - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... it=tappets

From the manual
"Compression (kg/cmsquared - rpm)
Standard value - 30 - 200
Limit value - 27- 200
Variance limit between cylinders - 3kg/cm squared"
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

Hope it gets it sorted [-o< , compression values are with a warmed up engine (but they should know that :wink: )
