After much cleaning, got the rocker cover off, and there is plenty of space to work so this should be much easier than I imagined.
There is immediately some fukkery obvious. The rocker cover has not been touched since dealer head the head off at 35k miles. When I got it back it was noisey, but has not increased since.

Looks like the cam bearing cover is cracked. Does not look like casting lines. Bad assembly?

I will check clearances tomorrow then get the cam bearing cover off.
I could use a rough idea what temper the new shims should be, will probably make them from silversteel or en24. |

To make this more interesting, my clutch casing no longer has the index mark due to crash damage repair and corrosion and quite possible the intake cam has jumped a tooth, they do not appear to line up perfectly like the manual states. |

96 fiesta 1.6 and 92 saab 9000. My first two cars
So far going slow but good, they seem within spec. Found its worth cleaning and measuring each pairing of feeler blades and trusting the mic rather than the stamped values. A decent quality set of indiviual blades 0.10-0.40 would be ideal for next time. Im starting with the smallest spec blade, recording in roman numerals with each pairing for each set of valves until the last no longer fits.
I think the intake cam is two teeth out. That would explain why it was running perfectly, one tooth jumped running badly, another tooth jumped and not running at all since. Here is a pic with engine on the T mark and 360 degrees (measuring 2 & 4 intake)

I will repeat the measure after with the line flush as the guide suggests to see the difference. |

The last person was the main dealer for which I paid £1000 for their services -and recived the bike back with loose brake calliper bolts and exhaust nuts. They had head off to fix exhaust threads and it took them 3 or 4 months.
The tensioner on these is known to be shit. When I removed the tension unwinder, it did not spring back out as it should. Many people fit manual CCT's for that reason. I think I will too.
As I was rechecking the inlet, the inlet accidently jumped a tooth. I decided to advance it a second tooth, to where I think it should be, but have not rotated engine since. I then removed the tension unwinder and pushed the guide back into the tensioned position. The cam moved backwards about half a tooth, which I guess is the amount of stretch in the chain. So now it is half a cam tooth from being flush.
These are my results, which means 3 shims have tightened up slightly under the limit and 5 more are right on the limit.

Old Thread Alert!
