Adjust intake valves to .008" (.20mm) and exhaust valves to .010" (.25mm) for the R16 engine. For the R17 engine the clearance is the same with the exception for the Gordini engine. On that one you adjust the exhaust valve to .012" (.30mm) https://www.6ya.com/callphilipforhelp

SOURCE: Valve tappet adjustment

well, I can see ur message has been here for quite some time. Most probably you got the answer to ur request.
I just did the valve clearance on the engine of my SJ413 that has the 1000cc engine of an SJ410 :
When cold: 0.13mm Intake and 0.18mm Exhaust
Engine sounded well and worked fine after that.
Enjoy

SOURCE: how to measure tappet clearance with dial gauge

When setting tappets, it has to be born inind that the valve stem wears an indentation into the face of the rocker. This prevents a really accurate tappet adjustment, so the customer is right again. If you do not posess a tappet setting dial gauge, a normal engineers dial gauge will do just as well. The procedure is the same as using your feeler gauge except that you set the dial gauge up on the cylinder head with the pointer resting on the head of the rocker. Press down fairly firmly on the rocker valve end and zero the gauge. Next lift up on the rocker and read off the clearance, from the gauge, Use a magnetic base to support your gauge and repeat the pocedure for each valve pair.

Tappet clearance on renault kwid please

USA answer blind as a bat, me.
no year, told , no country told, (sold new to what country not told)

I had to read web pages in Hindi to find this.
ask Renault for he engine manual (service) a win.

specs, books and parts are all based on that
we can't just guess. it. not possible
all we can do is beg. endlessly.
that clearance spec is for hot and cold engine. both.
buy the service manual ? yet/ an not ask facts at every service point on the car forever>?
year 2015 to present says wiki,.
i guess you meant it has a (DOHC 4 valve head x3)
2 size engines:
799 cc and made by NISSAN, best I can tell.
999 cc
Petrol:
799 cc BR08DE I3
999 cc BR10DE I3
wiki does not cover those 2 engines.

sold in India,UK and S.AFRICa none here is USA or Id paste all steps to check and cure wrong valve LASH.


facts hard to find on those 2. super hard .

but here goes (gleaned by me max www web searched)

DOHC engines have to tappets. (a push rod name that)
some do have shims or mini lifters.
the cams sits in a cam rack over each banks of valves.
no rockers, no tappet, no HLA,.
direct DOHC cams. 1Liter
bingo bucket lifted. seen here, sorry no tappets (1960s name)
Yes lash matters on all engines lacking HLA's


https://youtu.be/8KfQcUISA-c?t=308


video :how odd all those hands and not one used a feeler gauge to check lash, to be in spec,. they are not HLAs'
if was HLA's head have primed them with engine oil first. (HLA= Hydraulic lash adjusters)

if the clearance is wrong here, ask maker Renault for a cure.(in there manual)

the Valve stem clearance changes only as valves fail and have valve to seat recession, and on some cars the buckets have shins inside that come an many sizes. ONLY THE SERVICE MANUAL tell that.

renault-undefined-undefined-0.jpgend DOHC facts, hard to find on Renaults. buy the manual and read it is always the answer,why guess?>

What are tappet clearances 2013 mitsubishi triton 4D56t

May need more information like sub-model (es, dx, etc) and liter size engine (2.0, 3.0) But usually this information is listed on under-hood sticker. And it will tell you if the valves are adjustable or not. If they are it will give the procedure and clearances.
Hope this helps

Can you set valve clearances on a 1997 clio 1.2 engine.my engine sounds as if the tappets are noisey.

The tappet clearence should be in the owners handbook but it's a bit early a tappet noise from the engine (2006) ! Check oil level and change if it's overdue a service is definately worth a look ! Good luck
