Re: Valve clearance EJ20 DOHC
Can someone tell me which is correct on valve clearances I’ve been told that on a EJ204 non turbo 2L motor it’s inlet 0.006mm up to 0.08mm and exhaust is 0.08mm to 0.010mm but the service manual says inlet is 0.19mm and exhaust is 0.35mm which are correct.

I’ve just serviced my heads and the valve clearances are inlet all valves 0.06 exhaust 0.13 is this ok or are the exhaust valve gaps to wide and how do I reduce it as I can’t find small enough shims.
