Hi all
In the process of doing the head gaskets on my van. Has anyone got any info on setting the valve clearance and what position the engine should be in? Its a 1.9 wbx. Thanks

All the info you need is here (in our wiki) = https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Hy ... _explained" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Have disturbed the liners whilst getting the heads off ?

Have you got the special sealer for the head bolts ?
