I couldn't find Mile's drawing of a cam (it magically made everything make sense to me) so, I decided to try my hand at it.
First, jack the car up so it assumes the usual and comfortable position of a 914. Resting securely on jackstands. I won't get under it without jackstands cause the thing jumps off of jacks. I have a dented long on the driver's side and a dented rocker panel on the other side to prove it Dave Attached image(s) |

I like the cam drawing, saves me from reading.
Out of curiousity, I assume just about everyone here adjusts their own valves. Back in the day since this procedure is done every 3K miles or so, how much did the Porsche dealer charge to do this? Spoke |
