How to Adjust engine Valve clearance ?

Adjusting engine valve clearance (also called tappet adjustment) is essential for maintaining engine efficiency, reducing noise, and preventing damage. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Tools Required:
• Feeler gauge
• Wrench set
• Screwdriver
• Torque wrench
• Socket set
• Flathead screwdriver
• Service manual (for correct clearance specs)

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Preparation:
• Park the vehicle on a flat surface.
• Let the engine cool down (valve clearance is usually adjusted when the engine is cold unless specified otherwise).
• Remove the valve cover by loosening the bolts.

2. Find Top Dead Center (TDC):
• Rotate the crankshaft using a wrench on the crank pulley bolt.
• Align the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and camshaft.
• Ensure the piston is at the top of its compression stroke (both intake and exhaust valves should be closed).

3. Check the Valve Clearance:
• Use a feeler gauge to check the clearance between the valve stem and rocker arm.
• Compare with the manufacturer’s specifications.

4. Adjust the Clearance:
• If the clearance is too tight or too loose, loosen the lock nut on the rocker arm.
• Use a screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw while sliding the correct feeler gauge between the valve stem and rocker arm.
• Tighten the lock nut while holding the adjusting screw in place.

5. Recheck and Repeat:
• After tightening, recheck the clearance with the feeler gauge.
• Rotate the crankshaft and adjust other valves accordingly.

6. Reassemble and Test:
• Reinstall the valve cover with a new gasket if necessary.
• Start the engine and listen for any abnormal noises.
• Test drive the vehicle to ensure smooth operation.

Note: The clearance specifications vary by engine type, so always refer to the vehicle’s service manual for precise values.

WHY "KASONGO" WAS COMPOSED.

His real name was Kasongo wa Kanema, died 2 years ago and buried at Lang'ata Cemetery.....

“Kasongo” has been trending but few know the story behind the song.
"Kasongo" was done by the band Super Mazembe, a congolese band that moved to Kenya in 1974. The band members had gone to visit their friend Kasongo in Eastleigh, Nairobi.

On reaching his house, they met Kasongo’s wife and they asked her if he was at home.
Kasongo’s wife welcomed them and told them that she had not seen Kasongo for days.

Back then, there was no internet and it was rare to find someone who owned a phone. They decided to send him a message through music, hoping it would reach him.

The Super Mazembe members started creating a song for Kasongo in his living room, telling him to come home because his wife is worried and she’s looking for him but can’t find him.

They went on to record the song and, as they say, the rest is history.

Here are the lyrics:

RULES OF DATING SOMEONE'S WIFE;

1. Never take photos with her.

2. If you called and she hangs up, don't call her back, the husband is around.

3. Don't text her love messages.

4. Satan should not tempt you to sleep at her house even when her husband is out of the country.

5. Never book the same lodging every time you go for fun.

6. Do not involve your friends or her friends in your relationship.
