  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

TE511 Valve Clearances

So I've recently checked my valve clearances with the following measurements:

Intake No.1 - 0.18mm
Intake No.2 - 0.25mm
Exhaust No.1 - 0.25mm
Exhaust No.2 - 0.25mm

The manual states:
Intake Valve Clearance - (0,05...0,10 mm)
Exhaust Valve Clearance - (0,25...0,30 mm

The Intake Clearances seem way out to me, is this normal at all? This is the first check after approx. 5,000km.
 
in inches your .010 and .007, the shim disc adjustments are usually set up tight, some engines as close as .003-.005, my fear is the valves getting too tight leaving the valve open, by general standard most engines ive seen at .008 .010 and give me more comfort with a tad more clearance, by the specs your a tad loose on #1 intake, better than going tight, not worth addressing, im guessing your adjusting cold.
 
Thanks Joe for your reply. I'm checking cold, so would it be worth adjusting both intakes at all?
 
A few of us now have had our intake valves way loose. We have all tightened ours up and I would recommend you do the same. You are three shim sizes out on one and two out on the other.
 
Seems like they shimmed some of the TE's to TC specs on accident from the factory. I would shim it to spec just to be safe.
