[QUOTE="GPRIDER, post: 1464602, member: 857"] Just from reading on the forum over the past years, most will tighten up at different rates. I think there might have been some problems with FJRs that were never checked and adjusted when they needed it. The only way you can be sure is to just get a new FJR every 40 to 50 thousand miles. Ha! Also from what I have read on here, if it starts running bad because of valves that are too tight from not being adjusted, then you have probably caused some damage to the engine. The valve check wasn't too bad after going through it once. I can probably learn how to remove cams and re shim if I have a good video to show me or an experienced person to show me. I have done a valve check and adjustment on my Vmax, but you don't have to remove the cams to re shim it. What a concept. Why that design didnt carry over the FJR is beyond me. GP [/QUOTE]
