Hey guys,
I was adjusting my valves and noticed one of them was way off (see pic). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I screwed in the adjustment screw to take up the slack for this picture so you could see how much it took to tighten the valve. When i purchased this car it seemed to be running fine especially after a tune-up just a little noisy, this is the first time I've tried to adjust the valves and i figured this would be a good time as any sense I was already removing the tin to clean out the debris. Please break it to me gently (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) do I have major problem? See picture of the intake on No. 1  |
