advice needed: valve shim time
Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2000 4:46 pm
Hello group.
Since I just received my super shim variety pack from Fred it is now
that time to adjust the tight intake shim and I am wondering. Should
I adjust all the other shims while I am in there? I think I remember
someone saying or maybe I read it in the archives. That is is better
to adjust the shims loose because the clearance will diminish over
time or it will increase over time. I can't quite remember what I
read and can't find it.
Should I just adjust the Left intake and leave it at that?
I have a Y2K with 1975 miles. Clearances are
Left Intake .003/in
Right Intake .005
Left Exhaust .005
Right Exhaust .006
Thanks in advance. If you want to reply off list that is fine with
me. I don't want to stir up any big debate over shims.
