Valve Lash Specifications On
Chrysler (AMC Renault) 1.7 & 2.0L (105 & 122 CID) Engines
The Chrysler (AMC Renault) 1.7 & 2.0L (105 & 122 CID) engines use
a puck with a replaceable pad to adjust the valve lash. With the
engine cold, the recommended valve lash for the intake valves is
.008 (.20mm) and .015 (.40mm) for the exhaust valves (Figure
1).
Setting the valve lash requires mounting the camshaft and
camshaft caps to the cylinder head. Using the sequence outlined
in the illustration (Figure 2), torque bolts #11 & 12 (6mm
diameter) to 7 lbs.ft. and the remaining bolts (8mm diameter) to
15 lbs.ft. Apply a small amount of RTV sealer on the parting
face of each end camshaft bearing cap before installation. This
will guard against external oil leaks.
