I'm currently doing a valve adjustment. Everything is close to spec except for the two outer exhaust valves, which are both around .8 mm. (Way too much gap) I thought it was a sloppy build at the factory. Could this be because of the decompressor? So, if I get this right, I need to spread the counterweights apart as I spin the cam lobes into place. Does the decompressor only act on the outside exhaust valve. There seem to be some gotchyas here.

Peter, thanks for the help.
This morning I rechecked all the clearances, and made sure to spread the counterweights as I set the cam lobes. Viola! The valves were right on the money.
Oddly enough, I played with those counterweights and saw how they make that little tiny cam flip around. I just didn't put 2 and 2 together when I set the lobe to check the clearance.
I'm ready to button it up and start riding.

| | Posted : 20 Feb 2022 - 19:28 Post title : Re: Valve Clearance Check and Shim adjustment (Re: peteronkarra) | | | Sorry to add to a thread that has been quiet for quite a while, but I'm after a bit of advice/confirmation.
I've done the valve checks a couple of times now, but this time I have to make some adjustments.
I've removed the alternator cover and about to remove the rotor bolt.
My question is - is the rotor bolt a normal 'lefty loosey' thread or is it a reverse thread?
I don't know why, but I have a nagging doubt in my head, and I don't want to bust a nut (or worse still, the bike) trying to loosen something when I am actually tightening it up.
Appreciate the advice. Thanks in advance.

I do have the three Triumph tools, holding bar for the rotor, the large drift to remove the rotor and the timing pin. So I should be good to go.
Just got the centre bolt out - I'm in! Fingers crossed for a drama free shim change.
Thanks again.

Same here. Mine at 24k but i'm more then 10k further along than you, 85k. So i've gone 15k longer and also my startup decomp weights stopped clicking LONG ago. Probably 40-50k ago. Hell, Dave went 125k w/o any valve adjustments ! But then i guess thats ok because he used that magical dino oil.

OK, but these things were like clockwork, after starting " tick tick tick" and then quiet. Now it's quiet, I'll know when I pull the cover.

| | Posted : 26 Apr 2022 - 19:35 Post title : Re: Valve Clearance Check and Shim adjustment (Re: Leethal) | | | Man, i looked at moorman's guide on valve adjustment and it's a real eye opener. I wouldn't attempt this with a gun to my head. Unfortunately I also wouldn't have it done anywhere but mickey cohen because i know i can trust him. And now i live hours away from him since i moved so thats out. And most dealers are clueless about how tedious and long the procedure is on a Tbird and no way i'd pay $500 or more (probably more like $600 by now) and risk what i know is very likely to happen....they check it and unless theres a serious difference in the measurements they may well pass on pulling the cams to shim it and just say they did it. Whos gonna know. So at 85k miles i have little choice but to sell it, so when i get the T120 looks like i'm putting the Tbird up. Hate to do it, as i wanted to keep it but because of the valve adjustment situation i'll likely sell it. Thats gotta be the worse thing about this design. Wish it has self adjusting like harleys. I'd gladly lose a few HP for that.

I have a lot of exsperience with the bird, and valve clearence, and just completed a full valve clearence check. It's a pain in the ass, admitted, but I have still to adjust the clearence, not done yet, despite the bike have 100k kilometers on the clock. The clearence is rock solid within the tolrerances, and if you don't exsperience any problems, like backfire just leave it and drive it.
If you want to be safe, checking is actually not too bad, remove the tank, remove the cooling pipe at the top, remove the cylinderhead cover, remove 2 sparkplugs. You can now check the clearence with feeler gauge, and if they are not out of spec, leave it as is, fit everything again and drive away happy.
By the way, 25mm shims from Honda fits perfect, and cost a lot less than those from Triumph.

| | Posted : 28 Apr 2022 - 20:57 Post title : Re: Valve Clearance Check and Shim adjustment (Re: Slcharger) | | | Thanks Kim. I put a lot of stock in what you say so maybe i will keep it. It runs absolutely perfect and never backfires at all. Doesn't even knock anymore in the last year or so since i lost the gutted cat, put the 02's back in, went back to the tors tune and began running mobil 1 V-twin. I always wondered about how Dave went 124,000 miles w/o ever having done a adjustment. And mine has only gone about 60,000 miles since it was adjusted 12k after i have the 1700 kit installed. All wheel bearings have recently been replaced and new belt and clutch cable. So maybe i'll replace the throttle cables and hang onto it. I initially wanted it to be my bucket bike and at my age now i think it will make it if i don't have to worry about valves. At the very least I now will consider it. I'm about an inch away from pulling the trigger on a T120 so the bird won't even have that many miles put on it in coming years.
By the way Kim, any thoughts on spoked wheel flat repair on the road? I'm absolutely not gonna do that tubeless tape conversion some people do but i'm rather worried about spoked wheels because most of my riding these days is in the middle of nowhere. Last thing i need is to be stuck with no cell service and no way to fix a flat. I've looked at slime and that canned fix a flat stuff and ride on but the reviews all have a lot of negative experiences with them all. The only other possibility is saddle bags for a took kit and thats a nightmare in and of itself.

Kim, I would love to know why your bike has not needed valve shim adjustments yet. Every time I check mine the inlets have altered, exhaust have been ok for a long time. Mine has done 180000kms.

First a short introduction to valve lash, for those not familiar with the topic.
The change in valve lash comes from the valve slamming into the seat, when closing, I think we can agree on that. The valve lash is chosen by Triumph to compensate for slamming, but also to compensate for the heat expansion of the valve stem, due to combustion heat load on the valves. Since the intake valve only experience heat in closed condition, the valve lash is less than the exhaust, where the hot gasses pass around the valve in addition to the combustion heat load. Therefore the larger valve lash on the exhaust side. Beside of that the intake valve is cooled by the intake charge, petrol vaporizing etc. And on top of that Triumph chose a safety margin of lash, to ensure that the cam never forces the valve to stay open.
To your question, why I don't have change in valve lash, over time, riding.
In my younger day's I was doing a lot of motor sports, building my own engines ( could not afford to buy em race ready ), and I learned a few things back then. The valve slamming problem is even worse with high reeving engines, so adjusting valve lash, and refreshing valve seats where frequent work to do. In order to minimize the work, I started experimenting with reduced valve lash, and I found that by choosing the right lash, the problem could be reduced significantly. So I did the same to the bird, running reduced valve lash, so that the valves are landing soft in the seat, and lash is reduced to about 0, when hot.
At the same time the reduced lash gives the cams a bit longer duration, means a bit more power. Beneficial side effect.
Now I guess some ppl. will try to tell me how dangerous this is to the engine, but until now it has been working for 50.000 km, no adjustment needed. I do though not recommend others to try copy me, as it can total your cylinder head, and that is also why i don't give any data on how I have shimmed the valves.

Yes, I mentioned it during my porting CR raise on the motor.
But welcome to the club, it has to do with age, memory loss. 
Sometimes you just can't remember where you put stuff, Monday I couldn't find my phone after breakfast, used my wife's phone to ring it, and found it in the fridge.
