Get tappet adjustment done up on regular tunings.

Hello
Pay attn to following symptoms

a) Long starting needed (on CNG) in the morning. More than 3 Selfs.

b) After starting on CNG (cold engine) it will turn off if you dont step hard on the accelerator.

c) When running up hills (either petrol or cng) you will experience lack of power (torque)

d) ALso unbalanced engne sound comes if more than 30% tappets are either jamed or need adjustments.

1.. Starting problem like it would take more self...
2.. if your car is an auto, if you stop the car while the transmission is on D or any forward driving mood it will jurk and the engine will shut off..
3.. rapid acceleration wont be that effective i meant responce time would be lesser..
4.. more fuel consumtion..

@chinyoti
Bro check it with feeler gauge if the gaps are in mentioned OEM limits then its okay otherwise u will need them to be adjusted and in vITz u have some internanls grinded as rockerarms are not adjustable for valve clearence

[chinyoti]

@wasay, my Vitz is running on petrol, the tappet question was abt my Dads Baleno.

[wasay_ahmed]

acha baleno got Adjustable 1s so u get them adjusted from Company or any good mechanic after like 5 6000kms

Is there any need of Tappets adjustement needed in Cultus? I never adjusted tappets since 5 years and ODO is on 67k . it is 2003 model. i believe that Cultus hydrolic tappes which dose not need adjustments. Please correct if i am wrong. I never saw any issue about morning starting, torque and ideling. useualy tune the car my self like plug and air filter clean, CNG kit maintenence.

[wasay_ahmed]

yeah ur rite they r on;y tooled whn they r tight

[chinyoti]

wasay the car has driven 115,000kms, never done anything under the hood,

regular service, tuning, nd chalti ka naam garri.

[kwaheed]

A regular tuneup contains inspection & adjustment to

Tapet valve clearance
Spark plug gap
distributor point gap (if there is)
ignition timing

1.idle rpm keeps fluctuating
2.on 1sy gear,there is ajeeb sy awaz lyke tak tak which goez off itself when u gain sum speed.
3.pick is screwd up,in short the car is screwd up..

i dnt think soo strange engine sounds means tappets adjustment is required.i got my city idsi mt tappets done frm honda 3s,before the tuning,the sound was perfect.after it.the sound was like kir kir kir kir kir...drove for 20k kms wid it then got it again tuned,nd i told the mechanic that i need this sound to b finished,he said ok.but after the tuning.there was still like 50% of the sound present still.but the pickup didnt increase either.
can some1 tell me wat shud i do?

[chinyoti]

finally got it Done and the cars like shoom...... Lush push hogai hai.
the pick,
the acceleraion,
and the response,
specially the Idle Rpm (Y)
