Heloooo out there guys. My name is Chris. Had a valve cover gasket leak and decided to check valve lash.. Found some of them to be .1mm out of spec
Factory spec for the ej 25 dohc motor is:
.2mm +/- .02 mm (intake),
.25mm +/- .02 mm (exhaust) .....
I know when the motor gets hot everything expands and there is almost 0 lash, so if the valves are too tight to begin with, they might expand to the point where the valve doesn't close all the way, which will affect (effect?) compression.... Sorry I love to pontificate
I have a bunch of shims that i pulled from my car and was wondering if anyone would be interested in trading. These things are 8 bucks from the factory plus shipping and i am a dangwallet.
Shims I have: Shims I need:
1- 2.45mm 1- 2.23mm
2- 2.49mm 1- 2.35mm
3- 2.52mm 1- 2.26mm
1- 2.53mm
2- 2.54mm
1- 2.55mm
1- 2.56mm
1- 2.60mm
1- 2.61mm
I live in chico, CA and would prefer a local trade.... My calipers are spot on ( ive checked them against others) sooo it would be cool if i could measure your pucks to make sure im getting the correct ones. However, if you are out of the area, im still into it, but hope you are as anal as me. Thanks all, please spred the word if you know anyone.
