Thanks Boronia, I did have that info but google also came up with a 0.7mm inlet / 0.7mm exhaust as well.
Thought it best to double check
Thanks both for your help

Re: Volvo tappet clearance
Just wondering if the turbo and natural versions have different settings? Might explain the two figures?

Re: Volvo tappet clearance
Just for anyone looking, the confirmed correct gaps are 0.4mm Inlet, 0.7mm Exhaust.

Re: Volvo tappet clearance
Know this an old post and correct settings are as quoted as IN 0.4 and 0.7 for Exh and is correct for a turbo motor as well - have only ever heard of 1 natural aspirated 10 Litre Volvo motor as a Volvo Penta in a standby geneset at Mt Crosby Water Pumping station
