1.6 JX tappets

[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.

I’ve got the Bentley manual but couldn’t find it , what page number ?

The Bentley doesn't cover oil burners.

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 .
can anyone confirm ?

I would have made more sense if the had used 'E' for exhaust!

JX manual is on Syncrosport website, thanks to SyncroAndy

SyncroAndy has the injection system manual. If you need the main engine manual I have a PDF version that I can forward.

Now I know the correct sequence of the valves I have measured all the clearances again tonight , and I don’t believe it but they are all within tolerance . I’m very surprised. Thanks for all the messages of help .

@FarmerPhil
Cause JX engines and manual speak mainly German, haha, A for Ausgang(way out)/ E for Eingang(way in)

Would you mind sharing the JX service manual please, I am starting an engine restoration on the family T3 1.6TD JX '89 and that manual might fast forward my action planning.

Thank you
