Broken Valve Nut
Posted: Sat Jul 01, 2017 9:04 pm
Anyone ever snap their valve nut when making an adjustment? I guess I was over tightening the exhaust valve nut on my 2010 4T and it snapped on me today (pictured).
Can I replace the 8mm with something from Home Depot or do I need to order a replacement part?
On a related note, how precisely do I have to line up the notched fan blade with TDC? I got it fairly close and to my eye the valve looked all the way open.
I've read some conflicting specs on this forum about the valve clearances. The manual says 0.06 mm for the intake and 0.08 mm for the exhaust...is this indeed correct?
