Valve Lash on 1992 8 Valve TBI - sina27 - 02-17-2022
Hello,
Got a 1992 Tracker 4WD 5 speed TBI.
Im going to adjust my valve lash.
I'm seeing some discrepancies in the actual lash specs:
On the 8 valve FixKick website, it says cold lash for 8 valve is:
.0051 - .0067 inch (intake)
.0063 - .0079 inch (exhaust).
The fixkick page also referenced this PDF showing alll the specs for all geo years:
https://fixkick.com/All-Pdfs/Engine-Tune-specs/tuneup.pdf
On this page, for a 1992 1.6 TBI, it says the clearances for cold is:
.3140 inch (intake)
.0102 - .0120 inch (exhaust)
Confused why the PDF seems so off, 0.3inchs seems like huge clearance!???
Is the PDF wrong?

the last is only different if you read the suzuki manual then GM. (GEO)
GM loves to average or round off. they think that makes the job easier I guess but is not any kind of worry
that PDF is bogus and my error, back in 2007 and is the wrong PDF from a top after market , fake factory service manual (Chiltons ) or the like and was 1 click error me picking the wrong PDF
sorry , you'd need USE a straw Hat rim to set that gap.... (blusH)
fact is it is wrong.
