camshaft CLEARANCE
 

hey 86 owners


i had strange clicks from 1# 3# piston side . i think that clicks because of high pressure pump . but day by day and after long high way drive i hear it a a lot . that sound scared me . so Decided Analysis the issue starting disconnect the DI system by using tech stream. whats happened here is the pump stop clicking and that car runs with port fueling system . the clicks from right side shows up and it say i and problem here . OK that worried me and the game start .

engine works from 29/11/2012 with 130k km on clock

- removed the engine
-stand the engine
- remove valve cover
- calculate cam clearance

i found my cam aliment is out of limit as shown blow

limit
intake 0.10 mm - 0.16mm
exhaust 0.21 mm - 0.27mm


what i am looking for is can i use the engine with that issue and keep it without fix the clearance .

Alas! I came in here expecting a good clearance sale on camshafts.

Same.

Good luck on your issue OP.

Did you torque the cam shafts down ??

Then check the clearance.

humfrz

yes as repair manual say 360

Did you check the other side for comparison?

this is what i am doing now

In rare cases check your AVCS sensor as those can go bad and have effected a few people on here.

The OP is talking about clearances... Not a sensor related input. This is a physical measured value that he measured using feeler gauges.

it is bad clearance

What are the ~200 numbers a measurement of?

Havent they also caused cams to go out of alignment?

That'd be the cam position where he checked the clearance I believe.

I'd say those measurements are probably ok .02mm could be normal wear.

that number is standard shim size
