Guys, don't we have an online Haynes manual? (I'm being really lazy and have not had a look.)

If not, I can always scan mine in and post it up somewhere :scratch:

[markey b]

go opposites, so no8 valve spring compressed and adjust 1, 7-2, 6-3, 5-4 etc

I don't think that's an "on-line Haynes" but someone has scanned and posted illegally, ie, Haynes could sue them.

[tubbyG]

[Brigsy]

What cam??

[James5]

:ashamed: ooops!!

:laugh:No need sorted:agree:

[Adam 005]

Use the rule of nine. If number one is open adjust number eight and so on

[Ian S]

Haynes could sue them.I'm not being a spoil sport, I had some vague memory pop into my head that Haynes were strict on that kind of thing and they, or the publisher, had taken action in the past.

[alex johnston]

What cam??i have a piper cam in it, the links dont work above:scared:, may have been deleted i guess, if someone could pm me maybe a diagram from the haynes;), and thanks for the other replys:)

[Brigsy]

If its a piper 285 go .20/.20 matey, for a 270 probably .15in/.20 ex as per standard

[R5MJH]

i always set tappets up what i know as rocking so get 1 and 2 fully down rocking then adjust 7 and 8 to the setting needed, so adjusting 2 rockers a time its a little quicker;)

[gttjames]

If its a piper 285 go .20/.20 matey, for a 270 probably .15in/.20 ex as per standard

i fitted a 270 and went 20/20 and there abit to noisey still, il re adjust and see how they are

[Nick k]

The piper 270 is something like 25 inlet 30 exhaust. I set mine to 15 and 20 originally but then read the spec and adjusted them. I know they were random values that you set them too.
