Title: Torque specs for valve adjustment.
Post by: Abner_Bjorn on December 29, 2013, 06:47:04 PM

Good morning.
Can anyone provide me with the torque specs for the valve cover and adjuster nuts on my Like 200?
Thank you!

I believe the valve cover bolts are 8.9 Nm. That's from memory

when working with the adjuster nuts and screws we are working with steel....so a gentle/firm but not crazy tightening should be fine.

SEE this last sentence above - this is a very good idea = it double checks the adjustment you just did. Rotate the engine and check again!
However the valve cover is softer alloy so - easy does it!
