Greetings:
I have TD 25559 with its original engine XPAG/TD2/25939.
The vin plate says the engine is 25939, the brass engine
plate reads 25939 and the number stamped UNDER the brass
engine plate says 25939.
According to all information around, the tappet clearances
should be 0.012" for any engine after 24116. But, the
tappet cover reads 0.019", the original owner's manual that
came with the car says 0.019" AND the tappet feeler gauge
with the mostly complete tool kit is 0.019"! I bought the
car in 1967 with about 75,000 documented miles and have no
reason to believe that the cam would have been changed.
The cam was replaced with an AEG122 in the 1970s, but for
historical purposes, is there anyway I can tell if the cam I
took out, which I still have, is indeed a 0.019" or a
0.012".
