So, up until recently I've had the shop take care of my tune-ups because doing the valves seemed like a pain in the ass. Turns out I was right.
I can adjust the valves on the bug quickly, so it is something I have experience with. I got most of them set, but the ones closest to the front of the car on both sides are giving me trouble, on the driver side I kept adjusting out but can't get a feeler guage in there, same thing happeneing on the passenger side. Is there some trick to measuring the gap on the forward most valves? I know they're hard to get at, so I'm hoping that there is a trick I don't know about. BTW the engine in question uses heavy duty valve springs, I was thinking something might have been out of whack on cylinder #1 but it happened on the other side too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I'll try again after work tomorrow, hopefully with some good advice to follow. |
