[QUOTE="nomosnow, post: 319427, member: 6489"] Who makes these intervals up anyway. I own or have owned many solid lifter type vehicles and the adjustment intervals have been all over the map. For example our beloved FJR 26000 miles VFR 800 14880 miles 08 kLR 650 15000 miles 08 Kawi super sherpa 250 7500 miles Subaru WRX 100000miles All of the above use shims to set valve clearence Ford flat head v-8 No adjustment required These guys don't know if the valves are going to need adjustement at all . It is away to try and suck money from you in 2 ways A) you get it done and pay the price or B) you don't get it done and if you trade you still pay the price. Granted certain engines have to work harder ie (more revs per mile the others ) But if you take the revs per mile into account and compare our FJR to the WRX the FJR should only need it's valves set at 52000 miles to be on par with the WRX. So has anybody ever heard of the FJR ever suffering from an engine misfire or burnt valves from NOT having the valves done at all? [/QUOTE]
