[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1397937, member: 19880"] Just a note on valve adjustment. Valves clearances get TIGHTER as wear occurs. A valve with TOO LOW clearance does not make a noise like one with too high a clearance. Don't assume that they are OK just because they are quiet. Having said that, even if you haven't already done the scheduled check at 26K, you are most likely OK until you get back. (Were they done at the scheduled interval?) Why take a chance? Is this something you could do yourself? (Not especially difficult to check. Making adjustments, if needed, is a bit more daunting.) [/QUOTE]
