RC51 Valve Clearance Check

Recommended Posts

I'm currently in the process of checking the valve clearance on the RC. This is the first time I have done a valve check. So far it's a pretty easy process, but any hints/tips would be helpful. So far I’m finding the tolerances on the negative side of the recommended clearance. I’m posting some pix of the process thus far.

I build a 7x10x7 enclosure and had to sweep it a few times. Damn leaves.
