Is there such a bike. In a small Swiss hotel to settle two vazovskih specialist, arrived in Switzerland on a business trip. In the evening, with a fireplace and grog, they chatted with the owner "for life". And when the Swiss learned that his Russian guests work in Togliatti automobile plant, he rushed to press their hands and give thanks! On the puzzled questions were taken aback specialists owner explained that he loves messing with cars - to repair, disassemble, assemble. "Your Russian is perfect for this car are great, not that German. With them interesting - there is nothing to fix. " Yeah, every joke is really of a joke. And then, sooner or later, the owner of the domestic car gets knowledge about the structure of domestic units and features of their work. As well as skills in self-repair. It is no secret that in the process of the machine is wear of friction parts. And motorist notices that the engine power began to fall, and from under the hood, metal, heard knocking. The reason for this unpleasant phenomenon may be incorrect valve adjustment. But is it necessary to immediately go to the car wash? Quite independently we can answer the question "how to properly adjust the valves auto brief theoretical course purpose of valves in the engine - intake of the working mixture and exhaust. In the car there at least a couple of valves per cylinder, but in recent years, the number of valves is growing. All valves auto should work synchronously in a precise rhythm. Is responsible for this timing, in the form of a shaft with cams, pushrods. Sometimes the sound of valves disappears by itself from the heat engine. This is not surprising, because if something metal is heated, it will necessarily increase in size. That is why the gap should be exactly reconciled with ostyvshem engine. Increasing gap in the big party is fraught with incomplete valve opening, from which the engine will not develop the rated power. A decrease of leads to burnout valve seats. Valves to regulate the car needed after every 20-30 thousand miles. run. First necessary to carefully examine the literature on repair in the search for information on how to properly adjust the valves cars, because the values ??of gaps are different for each model engine, and may be different for each cylinder! Procedure To adjust, we need a flat probe. Work is performed on a cold engine. Remove the cover timing, passing unplugging all bothersome. Inspect valves, they should not have external injuries. Install piston controlled cylinder at TDC (top dead center), it is in a position of the cylinder valves are closed and can freely swing on the size of the gap. Releasing the lock nut on the adjustment bolt. Probe set up the required clearance, and then delaying the locknut back. It should be done cautiously, because when tightening can bring down regulated gap. Then again, probe check the gap size. Probe should be held in the gap with little effort, otherwise the operation must be repeated. Cranking the crankshaft clockwise (clockwise only!) On the half-turn clockwise, and in compliance with the order of the cylinder is adjustable valve clearances another cylinder. Rotate the crankshaft to adjust the valves should be only for the auto launcher arm, or the bolts that hold the pulley generator. Completion of work accurately and carefully collect the engine, run it and check work in different modes. Knock there - bingo! We all turned out.
