hi everyone, long story short the timing belt on my 25 shot off whilst running and it destroyed no:6 piston and valves. I've since repaired the block so that's all good for now. My question is the replacement head I had was pretty filthy. I've managed to clean the head up quite well but the hydraulic lifters look like its never had an oil change where as the ones in the destroyed head look beautiful.

How do I go about using the good ones as the process for cleaning the crappy ones is quite long and frustrating.

I found this equation in the service manual

T=T1+(C1-C2)

T= shim thickness

T1 = removed shim thickness

C1 = measured valve clearance

C2 = standard valve oem

but I don't know how to apply it.

In my sr20 you shimmed the rockers so they sat dead flat cause the valves where joined by the rocker, but in this head there individual, so are you accounting for valve height difference or cam lobe difference? or both?

    • Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing.

    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
