1.6 JX tappets

Post by dcworm57 »

Just getting ready to check and set the tappets . I wanted to check on here because it’s not clear in the Bentley manual.
So from the cambelt end is the valve sequence as follows

inlet/exhaust/inlet/exhaust/inlet/exhuast/inlet /exhaust .

thanks

I've got this to do on mine. It's says in the JX service manual. I'll have a look now.

Its symmetrical about the mid point, so doesn't matter which way your looking at it.

you wont be able to set them unless you have specialist gear and a stack of spare shims, you can check them easily enough

I’ve checked in the Bentley manual on a cylinder head diagram and this looks like it’s right .

Screenshot from the JX service manual.
I would have made more sense if the had used 'E' for exhaust!
