[QUOTE="Dadthespanners, post: 17880, member: 2220"] Hi all. Hope you can help me with some noob questions? I'm servicing the shadow for a friend. Is normal car 10/ 40 ok in the engine? - how much should go in? Is it the same stuff in the primary and again - how much? How much play should there be on the primary chain through the inspection hole? The gearbox appears to have had grease in it. Nothing shows on the dipstick. I've dipped a long screwdriver in and a small amount of clean grease came out on the end... Any recommendations? Am I right that tappets should be 0 clearance? That'll do for now. I'm sure I could think of other silly questions but I'd appreciate any advice or directing to other online resources of manuals etc. if they exist? Thanks, Ian (Dadthespanners) [/QUOTE]
