I've read the very useful descriptions about adjusting valves in the archives. I have but one question. What thickness of feeler gauge do you insert into the valves?
Did I miss something in the articles about this?
Is there a special feeler tool from Porsche that has the correct thickness?

 

I guess there must be "a" size as this

<a href="http://www.type-911.co.uk/images/specialisttools/fgt.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.type-911.co.uk/images/specialisttools/fgt.jpg</a>

only shows one gauge.

 

0.1mm inlet and exhaust when cold according to the workshop manual.

Taj.

 

Thanks for the info.
0.1mm is what I'll adjust to.

After you adjust your valves, what torque will be used on the valve covers? I have heard conflicting stories on that one.

Hi Steve OOOO!

Go to <a href="http://www.geocities.com/serverdude911/Porsche/index.htm" target="_blank">Everything you wanted to know about valve adj. but were afraid to ask webpage</a>

Good info for DIY'ers

 

Thanks. Looks like good stuff. The most common answer I have found is 8 to 10 ft.lbs.
