In this episode of the Classic Mini Survival Guide, I go through how to use feeler gauges to set spark plug gaps and valve gaps.
I explain what a feeler gauge is and how the factory manuals describe clearances.
I also demonstrate using various measurement tools to measure a feeler gauge.
This helps us understand error associated with tools and why it is important to check you measurement tools before using them.
The Classic Mini Survival guide is a series of short videos where I will be breaking down various skills and tasks required to keep your classic mini in top running condition.
As I work on minis, I am constantly finding problems with general maintenance items such as spark plugs, valve gaps, ignition timing, etc...
I see these as tasks which any owner is capable of doing and yet I do not find them to be happening correctly, if at all.
My goal with this series is to educate and inform the Mini community so that we keep more of these cars on the road. The better they run, the more they get used and appreciated by others.
If you have a suggestion for a topic, let me know in the comments below each video.
Thanks for watching
Darren
