My husband flying!

I have posted a new Jabiru video!

My husband had his J160's SB8 done, requiring the new hydraulic lifters with hollow push rods etc.

After doing the first cylinder head bolt torque he also checked the lifters for clearance. With the engine turned so that the cam lobes facing away from the nr 1 cylinder (valves fully closed) he compressed the lifter by pushing with his thumb hard on the bottom of the tappet. After about 10 sec. the tappet had about 1mm play between the valve and tappet. He then checked all the valves the same way by rotating the engine and compressing the lifters.

All the inlet valves had zero play - so no compressing the lifters and were solid against the valves. He also found one exhaust valve without any play. Can this be correct? It seems as if the push rods are to long....

(I hope I explained correct!)
