valve clearances?

[windsurfervw]

Having just been through a bit of a saga with a newly purchased T25 2.0 air cooled engine misfire (made the STUPID mistake of assuming!) that turned out NOT to be a CU engine but an older CJ out of a late bay-so had ASSUMED that it had hydraulic lifters-so after strip down (total waste of time as it turns out!) fount solid lifters!!! Can't seem to find tech detail of valve clearances for said CJ engine-0.006"? Seems all I needed to do was adjust the tappets!!!! Can anybody confirm the correct clearances please?

Yep 6 thou in old money or 0.15mm

Thanks mate-I will try and get the engine back in and running today!

Mmm.. does all the tinware fit and there is a seal around the engine bay ?
Heat exchangers are different too so another item to watch out for if you need to do any exhaust work...

also the timing is crucial as
cu 5atdc
cv 6.5-8.5 bftdc
ce, ap, cj 7.5 bftdc
