Valve adjust, How often do you do it? Options

[Yoei66]

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?

Of couse! They don't fit on the later larger 10mm rockers.

I am running SS valves and don't want any mushrooming as the swivelfeet are easier on the valve ends.


Yep Joe, I run the piss outta it when we race. We (Blair and I) both AX and share the car so it can get freakin hot running 8 runs in a short time.
It will be interesting to see how hot the oil gets now with the new Raby cam. I have seen 240+ several days of AXing which is too hot for my tastes.

I have never seen much valve stretching on this engine, but I have seen it on other aircooled motors I have had. Checking the valve lash is a pain but much cheaper than head/engine rebuilding!

I suspect Blairs Black 2.0L has a valve in the piston due to running the wrong MPS and a kid driving the piss outta it without watching his valve lash clearances. bad combo.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif)
