I've just got a couple questions about lash caps on a type 4 engine.
What are they generally used for? Do you have to make any geometry adjustments like you would for the 911 swivel feet adjusters? |

I have them for my motor, they are due to the stainless steel valves being softer on the tips. (helps prevent damage to the valves)
Yes, you need to adjust the geometry of the valvetrain. |
