Since there is already one dumbie on this thread, I'll ask a dumb question, what symptoms would tell you that it's time for a valve adjustment?


(ticky, ticky, ticky, tick, tick, tickitty tick....dumby #3 here ) Yeah that was dumb

to answer your question, you will now\t hear anything when valves need adjusting. As the engine gets older, either the valves begind to recess a litte ( no noise, but exhaust valves burn and leak) or they become a little loose- hence the ticky ticky when the engine is cold. Don't worry about it so long as your compressions are good and your performance isn't suffering. Most never get adusted.
