[img]i/expressions/beer.gif[/img] can anyone tell what the valve setting's is on 2006 hawkeye and the right way to peform this adjustment


thank's for any input

 

I know on the '07 the intake and exhaust are set to .006". I'm sure the '06 is the same. You remove the valve/cam cover, loosen the locking nut on the adjustment stud on the end of each rocker arm, and set the clearance using a feeler gauge. While holding the adjustment stud so it can't turn you tighten the locking stud. It actually takes more time to remove/replace the cover than it takes to set the valves.

I believe it took a 5mm and 6mm wrench to set the valve clearance.

 

do i remove the plug on th right side and find the t mark {this would be top dead center compresion stoke}

 

The manual states to make sure the cam lobes are pointing down. Really no need to be exactly at TDC, just that the valves are fully closed.

I just removed the spark plug, and used the recoil starter to turn the engine over until the cam lobes were down.

 

thank you alot !!
