had17462 Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Hi all hope alls well ,just asking before I do something silly what would be the correct number on this gauge to check the tappets ,number 10 fits nicely on 1&3 but as I’ve never done this before I thought best to ask as the book says 0*25 . The last two are 15&25 as it doesn’t show on the picture. regards Nick Edited October 30, 2023 by had17462 Picture detail Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 From. https://www.britishcarforum.com/community/threads/tc2500-tappet-clearances.2630/ the cold clearance is 0.010" inlet and exhaust. You can use the thirteen rule but Triumph issue this table:- Valves 10 & 12 fully open adjust 1 & 3 2 & 5 " " " 8 & 11 7 & 9 " " " 4 & 6 1 & 3 " " " 10 & 12 8 & 11 " " " 2 & 5 4 & 6 " " " 7 & 9 That means use the feeler with 10 written on it as your feelers are imperial sized (inches) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
