Valve Adjustments

You can usually hear them clicking over time. Some cars recommend 60,000 miles others 80,000. I do mine when I notice them clicking a little more than usual. It is good to adjust the lash. It is possible to go 100,000 miles but I would do it then at least. It is good to have everthing nice and flush in the valvetrain.

I personally have not done a valve lash job. It takes some special service tools to be done correctly as well as a selection of shims that need to be inserted. It is really pretty tight work and takes a little bit of skill. It is not impossible, but I have not tried yet. I Usually take it to a trusted mechanic for that one.

not with self adjusting valves

or timing belts that actually last

like the new vdubs with a kevlar belt
