[QUOTE="radman, post: 509279, member: 167"] I actually haven't done my second-due this winter. But I know I'll be changing some shims, because I went too careful on my first, and got 3 exhaust valves a little too loose. They were right at the limit on the first, and so I went from 180's to 170's-when I should have found some 175's. Ever since, had a light tap out of the affected cylinders, and now knowing that these sob's really don't move [I]at all[/I], would have left them alone. Most likely, I'll be tossing in 180's (or using 175's) on this next adjust. Better, though, to err on the side of caution on exhaust valves than to get too tight and toast 'em. ;) [/QUOTE]
