Hello out there......I understand why valves need to be set so that the engine runs its best, but why do they go out of adjustment? On my 914 I think the manual says adjust valves every 3-6 thousand miles, but I think 911 engines only need an adjustment every 30,000 miles or so. I used to do my own valves on my Norton Commando which was a piece of cake, but on the 914 I typically have an expert do them so that my car will run at its peak. Would love to hear what is actually going on in the engine that keeps me wondering "are my valves out of adjustment?" Thank you very much/
