    Hi all,

    Does anyone have a valve clearance chart for a xj550 Maxim that they could post? That would be great, if someone did.

    Many thanks,

    Oh, but isn't that for a 600? Does it matter?

    Quiz:

    What do you do if the Shim you need to replace is NOT Stamped?

    What do you do if your calculation puts you "Off the Chart?"

    What do you need to know to NOT need to refer to the chart in the future?

    Must be 'Rithmatic.

    Also comes in handy when you are an old fart and the eyes are too far gone to read those little shim tables.
