I did a valve clearance check today, the numbers looked like this (from left to right, sitting on the bike) -
Exhaust - 0.004, 0.009, 0.002. 0.002, 0.003, 0.003, 0.004, 0.003
Intake - 0.004, 0.004, 0.004, 0.005, 0.004, 0.003, 0.006, 0.004
The compression test I ran the other day gave these numbers (from left to right, sitting on the bike) -
125, 150, 145, 150
So, am I right in thinking the low compression on #1 cylinder could be caused by the high clearance on one of #1 cylinder's exhaust valves?
Are the other valve clearances ok (0.005 is I believe a good number to aim for) - would my numbers be considered within the boundaries of "healthy valve clearances"?
Cheers,
