Abstract
Valve clearance is crucial to the engine efficacy, so proper valve clearance is required in engine assembly. In this paper we present the definition of valve clearance and the selecting principle of valve tappets, and the equipment called Valve Tappet Selecting Machine. The Valve Tappet Selecting Machine for 3-cylinder overhead camshaft engine has been developed based on the definition of the valve clearance and the selecting principle of valve tappets, which comprises Cylinder Head Measuring Machine and Camshaft Measuring Machine. The errors of the Tappet Selecting Machine were analyzed; the repeatability and the accuracy of the Cylinder Head Measuring Machine and the Camshaft Measuring Machine were tested, the data suggest that the measurement is high precision, and valve clearances will be under control strictly with the Valve Tappet Selecting Machine.
