Jersey Royal Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hi All, The idle valve on my cp inlet manifold is just slighly loose in that I can turn it. It appears to have been glued in place, this would have been done by Prestige some years back. Can anyone confirm how the idle valve should be fitted.? Would post a picture but photoshop is not playing ball and I have yet to find another photo suite that my tiny brain can cope with. Thanks Guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Allan Jezzard Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hi Guy, I'm pretty sure these things are secured with some kind of adhesive - silicone or similar. See you at IWE. Cheers Allan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Allan Hi Allan, Yes, it does look like a type of silicon, but its quite hard and no longer holding the valve in one place, its not causing any problem, not bad enough to upset the idle. See you at IWE with a bit of luck. Cheers Guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave I O W Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hi Guy Prestige did mine a few years ago and Im sure that they araldited it in the manifold, So you could always try that, I dont know how they were originaly fitted. Cheers Dave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Guy Are you talking about the big screw with the spring? if so the valve body should be an interference fit. Edited June 13, 2014 by ntc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I seem to recall that mine had a fillet of what looked like araldite around the joint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
