Valve Clearance Adjustment GL1000 and GL1100

[skw1972]

the belt tension seems fine but ok.
I was mainly wondering if the #1 intake closes at exactly the same time the T1 mark is at the register or does the T1 reach the register just after the #1 intake closes (meaning you would roll the engine a little bit further after #1 intake closes to reach the T1 at the index marks)
Then I was wondering ...in steps #13 should intake and exhaust #3 be at spec, then at step#14 should both valves for #2 be at spec, then at step #15 shoud the valves for #4 be at spec?
so do I need to redo the timing belts? I thought I had those right? they are not too tight and the index marks on the cams are dead on with the index marks on the casing when at T1. I followed the instructions on here to the letter including the "trick" to adjust tension on both sides. I'm confused now. I'll redo it though

there is a 5 degree overlap in the valve timing at TDC ...so yes

cool thank you, Ive put a ton of work in her, just want her right.

thank you thank you! yay! valves are good to go! now, a radiator flush and its time put the tank back in and bust her off, sync time!!
I ordered an adapter for my color tune so I feel confident. I hope to be finshed with everything before july 4th. Haha! some of the dudes I kick it with will be expecting me on the yammy.....wait till I show up with the black beast! This site is great.

What an OUTSTANDING explanation. Thanks.

I have done this adjustment and the engine runs quiet when cold, but at operating temperature, the lifters are really noisy. Is there another problem here?

Did you do the adjustment when the engine was stone cold (like at least 24 hours after the last time it was run?)

I did it right after I replaced head gaskets, bent valve, and valve seals before the engine was run. Maybe I should check it again cold. I checked clearances when it was hot and they were all within spec.

Just a comment from a newbe to DIY. Is this the same sequence for a GL1000 please? Ian

Yes. Only difference is 1000 gap is .004 both intake and exhaust.
