Important! : Which oil is correct for a saxo vtr 1.6

[saxovtsnap]

I've been sold oil from a shop for my saxo vtr 5w / 30 fully synthic
This is wrong am I right ???
because my mate buyed some last month and his car taps like mad
Plus inlet tapets are set to 0.20mm and exurst is 0.40mm
I've been told to set the exurst to 0.30mm quits the car down alot
Is this true
pleas help thanks

Set the tappits to what they should be, any closer and when it heats up and expands it wont shut the exhaust valve properly and youll burn it out, i put 10-40 in mine but im pretty sure people on here put 5-30 in and its not a problem

[Cam]

10-40 as said, i found 5-30 a bit thin when i used it for my 16v.

[saxovtsnap]

Ok cheers I think 5w 30 is far to fin that's why it taps a lot I justed now adjusted tappets to inlet 0.20mm and exurst to 0.40mm not 0.30mm aint try it and as said above i wont try it .but I think when I tited the nut up I mite of move the cental thread a tad . the feeler gauge
When doing it it should be stiff with a little play on feeler shouldn't it
to spec ??

[saxovtsnap]

Or tight it wiv the feeler in position or wiv out which way thanks

[greyjasper51]

If your forcing the feeler gauge in its too tight, should be friction there, a little bit more than a pinch... Make sense?

[saxovtsnap]

Yes mate I understand now thanks I'll give them a check againe jack it up in 3rf gear till tappet is in open position I'll give a go againe I must admit tho it's trial and area lol have you done these before
Dunno why this thread says this

Inlet 0.20mm ex 0.40mm
Change ex to 0.30mm
Mmmmmmmm

[greyjasper51]

Tappits?? Erm... Yeah maybe just a few... Probably about 3-4 a week lol depends what the weeks like but yeah... 5th makes it easier to turn the engine over :-)

The engines stone cold there and the noise is the release bearing, but thats just after i set mine to 0.2 and 0.4...

[saxovtsnap]

Isit didn't try 5th lol
So you do them to normal spec mate did you read throw the other thread have you tested it like that

[saxovtsnap]

Lmfao I just click the link yeah mines louder than that mate how do you do yours with feeler gauge is that . I'm doing something wrong

[greyjasper51]

Never heard it tbh mate, all ive ever done to check is set them all, turn the engine over by hand and check them again

[greyjasper51]

Feeler gauge ;-) just need a professional touch ;-) lol

[saxovtsnap]

Yeah mate you knOw when undo the 10mill nut and the little sockit on the centre pin thread to a just.
what I mean is when you insert the feeler gauge in the gap then screw it down to spec .do u remove the feeler gauge then tight it up .

or tight it up with it in Place I.e the feeler gauge .then remove it .

[greyjasper51]

Me personally take it out, i use a spanner for the stud and another for the nut... More accurate that way

[saxovtsnap]

Thank you vary mUch I'm
Using a sockit on stud that's why I'm not getting it right plus I'm only using the 1st bit of feeler gauge to < the vary first bit when really you want to push in more ain't it lol Sorry to be asking and asking lol

[saxovtsnap]

What size is the stud spanner ???

[greyjasper51]

6-7... Cant remember off the top of my head...

[saxovtsnap]

Cheers mate for help much appreciated
And I just had a look at your thread nice car if you need rear windows black outnive got a spare set and loads of spare parts thanks

[saxovtsnap]

Hi mate just quick question on this when I do the tappets it doesn't matter in what order there adjusted as long as the injectors are 0.20 and ex 0.40
Am I correct mate
Of course ive got the car jack up in 5th gear till I see tap 1 up or ex up
