The one job I have not done yet. The car is running perfectly, quiet, smooth, lots of power, but it hasn't been done since I bought it last year and the previous owner passed away back in 2017 (sat for years). There was all kinds of strange stuff from the interim when the family was trying to get it going again to sell so I seriously doubt they did anything like set the lash.
I have probably put 3000 miles on it. Some autocross, mostly just twisties in the hills and mountains. It's running so well, and the valve covers are not leaking... Should I check it? I have the extra thick gaskets from 914rubber sitting there waiting. |
