[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1463679, member: 19880"] Did the valve clearances actually need adjustment or were they just checked (unusual to require adjustment at just 16,000 miles)? [USER=857]@GPRIDER[/USER] , How many miles since valves were last checked? Not terribly hard to check clearances but it is more complicated with a greater chance of a problem if adjustments are required. I figured it out with help from various threads on this forum and did a couple of checks before I had to do any adjustments. Definitely would have been helpful to watch it being done, before attempting it by myself. Just depends on having the tools, facilities and confidence to do it yourself. I fully understand that many people are not comfortable with this stuff. [/QUOTE]
