I'm new to the forum. Just got a 2001 DiD SWB with 134000km from Middelburg and I am admiring the mechanical robustness already. As usual I am going through the vehicle replacing/fixing anything that looks suspicious or doesn't sound right. Surprising how few vehicles I came across thus far that had a recent gear oil replacement - judging by the state of what drains out! And it has a full service history..
On valve clearance - I found a spec of .1 inlet and .15 exhaust but it did not state hot or cold and if its measured between cam and roller or rocker tip and valve stem. I adjusted it between cam and roller to be safe (bcs it was really noisy) but it still a bit too loud for my liking. Taking that measurement it was out by +50% on average. Any advice from anyone on the matter?
Congrats on the purchase.
Not sure on the settings for valves, but while in there definately check and replace timing chain top guide which is a known failure part in Oz. Do a search on this forum to find my posting on this.
