will the valve gap change ? if so to what?

Yes, it will change. Use a feeler gauge to check gap and adjust it back into spec. Set each valve to .004-.005 inch of clearance with the rocker testing against the cam's base circle.

I had a 715 original valve, and replaced it. I did a lot of searching trying to find out if it would work, it did. Make sure you order the proper sizes.

Yes, the gap on these is set during manufacturing at .040. The gap is not intended to be modified. Always a good idea to check first, but I've never found one of these to be incorrect.

J. Moore (thank you!) contacted the manufacturer and revealed its purpose in the Comments:"You might be interested to know that after contacting the manufacturer, I learned that this extra part is a spare mounting bracket in case you want to mount the sensor control lower onto the valve assembly. They sent me a variety of pictures (too voluminous for me to send to you here) describing exactly how one would make this attachment change. If you need to know more, you could call them at 1-800-488-6156 (7am-5pm MDT/Mon-Fri). They couldn't have been more helpful."

The gap is preset on iridium plugs. Do not try to adjust or gap these as you will damage the tip of the plug. I believe the gap is set at .060" but as I said please do not gap these. I learned the hard way.

There should be no gap - there was none when I installed it. Either something is not lined up right or you have a narrower than normal door.

Absolutely, You will need a new multiport valve and may have to do some replumbing.

Yea, the plastic valve is the same dia unless they changed it for some reason.

Gap contour is not "exact" on my 2000, but gap is no larger than OEM original gap.

Mine has no gap,You might exchange it or if everything else is good with it,Straight neck etc. I would not worry about a small gap.

The only option I can think of is to replace the seal around the valve, but I would check on the Bialetti website to see if there is a way to contact them with this question.

Seems to be 2 slightly different valves, I had both and both were bad so not a problem for me, ordered one then the other.... get the tva2 for yours. Tootles... Wade

A gap where? There shouldn't be any gap between the metal handle and the plastic boss where the handle stops. If there is, the valve is not all the way closed and will not seal.

I don't know if it will fit. I had a very old Koehler fill valve with a brass stem. I just questimated that it will fit and thank god it was a perfect replacement. Only thing is the new valve is completely plastic and I hope it will last.

Make sure the part number matches what you have now. The didn't match mine completely, but it's the same valve and the labeling is upsidedown. I remember the ports, so it doesn't matter.

There shouldn't be a gap big enough unless you mounted the bracket upside down/backwards. It can happen, just check.

You didn't provide a model year or engine displacement. So rather than guess, go to the Fumoto website (US I assume): http://www.fumotousa.com/. Specify all the needed information, and the proper valve size(s) will be listed.
