[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 509232, member: 3828"] I'm just a ways away from having to check my valves for the 1st time, but I wondered what the rate of having to adjust the shims was on the 1st valve check. The first check isn't until 26k miles, but I have heard a lot of anecdotal evidence that suggests that many of the first valve services are just checks with no adjustment required. I am always a skeptic and curious if maybe sometimes shops will deem it necesary to adjust shims when maybe it's not? Or, perhaps the shims settle in the first check but don't need much adjustment in the 2nd check. I won't ask about subsequent checks (yet) as I think these first two intervals are the most common and should give us the data we need to make some conclusions Time to poll the masses and get the Facts!
