Default Valve Clearances T16 Mercury engine

Looking through my TM on the T16 I see that it recommends inlet at 10 to 12 thou and exhaust at 14 to 16 . Before I go to the effort of doing this I wonder whether anyone has any comments on these clearances given modern fuels and whether that may effect these. Also, I need a few engine bits and bobs, studs, head bolts, a valve , gaskets, rings etc. Can anyone make an recommendations of suppliers either here in the UK or abroad? thx chaps

Andrew,

I'd try nordianservices.com for advice and spares. The V8 in my F15A was reconditioned by them and it is one of the sweetest running ones around, or so I have been told.

HTH,
Hanno

Don't know them, never dealt with them, but it wasn't hard to do a Google search to find their phone number.

thanks Guys. They have certainly been around as V8 specialists for ever. However, I cannot ever get hold of the chap, which is a bit frustrating if one is trying to complete a job. Is there anyone else we know in the UK?
