valve clearance T140E

[slyvestor2]

Whats the correct valve clearance for a Triumph T140E?.

ex ...6 , inlet ...8 tho

OK but is'nt it normal for the exhaust to be a larger gap than the inlet?

its more to do with location in the head i think on these latter triumphs ( they always sound noisey to me ) but do go well , the sweetest one i had was a 1977 standard but with the "R" (larger radius followers) on all four cams and mushroom tappets , this bike went that well i stripped it to see what had been done and thats all i found , cams where standard
