Valve Clearance

[t_trax100]

hi all,
need some opinion from sifu here..

how does valve clearance affects engine performance??
if we increase/decrease valve clearance.....what will happen to engine performance?????
how do we know that the valve clearance that we have given to an engine is right????

The optimum valve clearance can be found from the maintance's manual for your car..

 

[huakenny]

the clearance is the gap between the valve and rocker arm(think so)..

huge gap = valve open slightly only...not enuf

gap too tight = valve open too much.....
