I can not seem to get the search function to work the last few days.

I want to do this for the first time. I have the manual, and still don't know intake and exhaust.

Is there a step by step on here somewhere....Thanks

 

The specs on page 5-7 show exhaust clearances (valves at front of head) at .15-.24mm & intake (valves at rear of head) at .10-.19mm.

Page 2-18 walks you through the inspection procedure and the adjustment process is outlined on 2-20.

Is this the info you are looking for?

 

Thanks, I was looking in the top end section instead of maintenance.

 

No worries.

If you are in Canada & in need of a shim kit, I just ordered one from here:
eBay My World - eandimotorsports

It was the cheapest I found shipped to Canada ($68 + $23 s&h)

 

My local shop said they would sell me individual shims.

They were all tight. One intake had no clearance.
Maybe that's why cold starting has been really difficult?
I've got 11000 kms and 9000 of them on the 351

Anyone looking to do this, it is much easier than I thought.
Taking everything off is the most work, I took the rads off as well.

 

taking the cover off is the only hard part...but...no need to take the rad off...need to take the right fan off (i did)...

 

I never had to take the fan off. (2006 model) Things that need to come off rad shrouds, tank, and valve cover.

Ive never had to reset timing when adjusting valves. mark it or put a couple wire ties on it so the chain stays on the sprockets


hard to see the black wire ties here.

 

EMS, I like the zip tie idea! There is obviously enough slack in the cam chain once the tensioner is removed to allow for you to move the cams out of the way while they are fastened to the chain(?)..

 

Yes there is, thats how i do it. I put two on each cam so if one breaks the other still holds it in place. Just remember you have to remove the tensioner.

The red painted dots is from the big bore when i had to take the cams off.

 

EMS, did you find there was a risk of the cam chain jumping a tooth, or coming completely disengaged, from the drive sprocket down in the crank case while you were shuffling the cams around?
I suppose it wouldn't really matter either way as long as you are at TDC, the timing marks will help you get it all timed again properly...
