Also i'm selling a webber carb and a kart engine , anybody know a good place to advertise for free in the UK Cheers! > Can anyone tell me what the valve clearances should be on 1300 > innocewnti cooper export (12g940 head). I can't remember the actual clearance, but I do remember that for the motors that are set cold it is 3/8 of one thread pitch on the screw adjusters. If you wind the adjuster down until it touches with no gap and then back it off 3/8 turn it will be right. > > Can anyone tell me what the valve clearances should be on 1300 > > innocewnti cooper export (12g940 head).

The manual states 0.012", although you can open it to 0.015" without a problem. The wider clearance is a good idea on performance engines because of the extra heat generated. It allows for greater expansion of all the components before the valves no longer seat.
