    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The title says it all. I've searched about everywhere imaginable and have yet to find the answer to my question. That's why I started this thread.
Thanks in advance for each and every response. ;)

You can download the factory manual here. Inside are the instructions on how to position the cams and the clearance specs. Stock is .03-.08mm. You can safely run clearance to .12mm, and I suggest targeting the higher end of the range because the valve clearance decreases with mileage.
 
Thanks! I had a feeling that you'd be the one to response. In fact, I came close to PMing you 1st. Thanks for not letting me down. ;)
Btw, is the clearance the same for both intake and exhaust? I thought they were different.
Also, fwiw, I checked the bringer.com site before starting this thread but it wouldn't open. However, it did now so I'm good to go.

Yes, Intake and exhaust clearance specs are the same.

THe proceedure for turning cams to certain position and checking certain valves, turn cams, check certain valves is important so that the two cams that check are not being pushed around by valve springs.
