I didn't check out my valve adjustment screws last time I adjusted the valves and they seem a bit noisy to me.. (BTW how noisy should they be??) so I was going to pickup a new set of the adjuster screws to have on hand in case mine look worn the next time I go down there. Wondering if anyone has an opinion on these ones for my 1.7 from Pelican:

Are they buggered up? screwdriver slots broken? Is the end that makes contact with the rocker rounded off? If not, why change them. They'll still be noisy if they are not adjusted properly. If you can really hear the tappets noise that loud, I'd say your vales are too loose. If they're not noisy at all your valves are too tight and your gonna screw up your engine.
I'm betting your gonna get a rather long tutorial from dave shortly. |
