I've put about 4000 miles on my 1.8 since I purchased & had the valves adjusted. Is it about time for another? How often do you adjust the valves on your 914-4's?

Every 3,000 miles without fail. That got drilled into me back in 1979 when I first got into VW maintenance and I've stuck by it. If VW or Porsche ever recommended anything else, I've never seen it. Now that I run synthetic oil I've changed the oil change interval to 6,000 miles, but the valves still get checked every 3,000 miles. There is so much that depends upon proper valve adjustment that I want to make sure they never out of adjustment.
