Hello, Everyone, I'm trying to track down the valve clearance specifications for my backhoe, I can not find anything online. I've had this machine since new and was doing some maintenance in the engine compartment, changing fan belts, radiator temp housing fixing broken muffler brackets and valve cover gasket,
Now I begin to think if I had ever adjusted the valves, and I don't think I ever have, so my question is after18-20 years is this normal for wear and tear? About 9-11,000 hours I'm guessing since the hour meter has been reading a blank for some years.
My real question pertains to the valve specs. for the Intake and the Exhaust, I have used a parts book for years but have never bought a mechanic's manual for this backhoe. Does anyone have those specifications handy?
The engine runs very well, some blowby but not horrendous and runs strong no excess oil use, and no off noises as if the engine is coming apart,
The serial number is: 06XN03729
Any information you may be able to provide would awesome, Thank You, Jake
