Oh no!!! I messed up doing the wastegate adjustment! 850 1995 T-5R

posted by  someone claiming to be Alex on  Sat May 12 15:53 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi,

I just finished doing that wastegate adjustment we were all talking about but I kind of messed up a bit. When I was strugging to get that rod end free from the nut right behind it, I spun it too much and lost track of its original position. I turned it enough so that the end of the rod was pretty much flush with the end of the pin that it has to go over (which means that I had to use long nose pliers to pull the rod to get the hole aligned with the pin). Does anyone know how many turns I approx. turned it?

Also, everyone keeps saying to drive it and then adjust some more. How do I know when to stop adjust it? How do I know when it's optimal? Sorry to nag all you guys. Thanks

Alex
