Question
Need the specification for the valve lash
Thanx

Answer
Hello Mike,

I am sorry that I cannot answer your question as it is out of my area of expertise.  My area of expertise as described is:

"I can answer general and specific questions that relate to problems with and the repair solutions for, the O.E.M. wooden interior trim found in many marques: Jaguar, Roll-Royce, Mercedes-Benz, Bentley, BMW, Austin Healey, Jensen Healey, Triumph, Lotus etc. etc."

Should you, or any of your fellow automobile enthusiasts have questions regarding the Woodwork in their cars, I'd be happy to try to help them.

Good luck finding the answer to your engine - valve lash - question. (for what it is worth, you might try one of those 'vehicle specific" repair manuals found in many automotive parts stores)

Happy Motoring,

Jeff
