        In my maintenance manual for the Foton TE254 with the Laidong KM385BT 25hp the head torque check and valve clearance check is on the 100 hr maintenance interval.

        I believe this differs from the Jinma which is at 50 hrs?

        hmmm

          i just spoke to Ken at JDB Equipment in Ontario Canada (our Canadian distributor for Jinma and Foton) and he tells me the gasket on the valve cover is rubber and reuseable. I have read the posted instructions for valve setting and the job does seem to be a little more straight forward now.

          Does anyone have any info on the actual gap that is being measured on the valves, any photos?

          Thanks again to all of you for this….this forum is really informative.

            Ive reviewed the posting, thanks.

             

            Ive got a couple of questions about my Laidong KM385BT engine.

             

            1. is the valve cover gasket re-useable?

            2. do you remove the cyl head bolts and reinstall and then torque, or just click them as is?

            3. is there anything to remove to check the valve clearances?

             

            thanks guys, this info is very helpful to a newbie.

                Thanks for the advice, I have the specs for the valves and head bolts, so I guess its time to have a look inside. Any advice on the process for valve adjustment or head bolt torqueing? It will be my first go at it.

                 

                Thanks  hailking
