Technical Valve shim adjustment

[digger58]

Hello all,
Just getting my engine back together after the seizure, new pistons in Skopje for less than €100 incl rings (thanks Sime) I have been looking at several books and sites and there seem to be differing measurements for valve clearances, can somebody give a definitive answer please, 1989 1500. I have a loan of a genuine Fiat box of shims with tools and need to get it done asap. Thanks in advance,

These are pages from the official Fiat workshop manual for the 1500 X1/9.

Toni -make 0.35 in and 0.45 ex not problem but do you have shims? Why not buy hire ....

Hi Sime, I have plenty of shims thanks, just wanted to confirm the clearances. Many thanks for all your help. Have just booked flights for February 2011, see you then.
