Hey I am new and just registered to this site because it looked like a good place to get some valuable info. I am looking for but have been unable to find the proper valve clearances for Krauser 4v heads. They are on a '77 100rs. Would anyone know what these would be or know a good source of Krauser information? Thanks!

Take a look at this video, me-thinks that parts of the Krauser valve train were stock BMW auto bits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ubwFXgU_nM

I would not hold your breath in the hope of any K4V - BMW auto parts interchangeability ...
However, Willie Roth who headed the Team Krauser BMW car racing effort
was a primary player in the design and engineering of the K4V head.

Besides, the matter of eccentric adjusters is just not all that peculiar !
