Hey guys,
I was adjusting my valves and noticed one of them was way off (see pic). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I screwed in the adjustment screw to take up the slack for this picture so you could see how much it took to tighten the valve. When i purchased this car it seemed to be running fine especially after a tune-up just a little noisy, this is the first time I've tried to adjust the valves and i figured this would be a good time as any sense I was already removing the tin to clean out the debris. Please break it to me gently (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) do I have major problem? See picture of the intake on No. 1 |

Looks ok to me , just got to ajust for the clearance what ever the spec is . One thing I see in the pic is the lack of lock nut on that screw adjuster , you do have that nut?? Adjust them in the order instructed , if you don't have a manual there is probably a tech article here for that if not pelican has some great tech articles especially on vavle adjustment procedures , use the search function - it's your friend !!!
