Default VALVE CLEARANCE

Most 4-stroke engines make some clicking sounds when turned over. It is probably the cam and gear area making the sound. The clearance in the valves is so small that you won't hear it. For setting the valve clearance, a setting of 0.0015-0.004 inches is normally used. I set all of mine at 0.003 inches.
