I have a ford ka 1.0 overhead valve what are the valve settings?
I want to know is quick, as I'm doing it on a old ladys car
Ignore bear head, 100% wrong as usual as it is a push-rod engine and easily adjustable.
Exhaust cold…0,20-0.25mm… Operating temp 0.22mm
Intake cold…0.56-0.59mm… Operating temp 0.59mm
Full manual here for you in PDF, valve clearances are on page 3.
Hi no you are not as the tappets are all hydraulic these days. So you can't adjust anything only replace them if they rattle which is beyond most amateurs which you are by asking the question in the first place.
- I have a 1999 Ford Ranger XLT 4.0L 2 Wheel Drive which I suspect the Proportional Valve maybe malfunctioning? When applying my brakes while slowing down from freeway speeds, I feel a pulsating sensation which seem to come from the rear drum brakes. Once my speed go below 40 MPH, the pulsation disappears. I don't have this problem when stopping from below 40 MPH. The rear brakes don't lock up when I apply brakes at any speed. But it could be that the pulsation while breaking down from high speed is normal.
- If you have enough money, can you have a new classic car built? Like can I pay to have ford build me a 1970 Mustang? Lets say I don't want to buy an old car and restore it, I want a 1970 but straight off the factory line. Can you have a car built with the old style frame, engine, trans, etc?
- Changed ford ka heater control valve. Still blowing hot air? My car was blowing got air constantly when off or on cold dial. Iv changed the heater control valve twice and now it still blows hot but then does work at times (blows cold on cold). What now?
- Would an auto part store have a replacement bolt for the valve cover of my 2002 Ford Focus? I broke one trying to put it back on today. Is that somthing they'll have at Advanced Autoparts or Auto Zone? Or should I try to find a similar bolt at Home Depot or something?
