As some of you might know i got into an accident 2 weeks back.

When my car gets repaired will i need a new valve adjustment done?

Since i had a front end crash, will the crash throw the valve specs off?

 

wait til you drive the car. if you hear weird ticking, then yes you need one. when i had a front end collision with my R, there was no need for a valve adjustment

 

Vales being out of wack from an accident... Yeah really doubtful.

 

Thanks guys i will keep a look out for the ticking noise.

 

I think your valve lash specs is the least of your worries if you just had a front end accident....I would be more concerned on how the car maneuvers and handles....

 

I guess i'll have to live with that unless i decide to sell my car. Sucks i know......how much of a diff will it be i will have to fin dout at the track.

 

Invest in a good alignment all around

 

is this ticking while driving or when u turn the car off?

 

Car is still in the workshop and will be another 3weeks before i have it back.
Just asking this question in advance.

 

it shouldnt throw the valve off at all. but a valve job is simple enough, wouldnt you like to do that anyways?

Jef<-- who adjusts his valves every couple months and thinks he might be wierd

 

adjusting them every couple months? are they out of specs that often?

usually not, but sometimes they are off just a little

 

is this ticking you hear while driving the car or after you turn it off?

you rnot asking the creator right?

if your car makes a ticking noise WHILE the car is ON, then valve adjustment is needed.

if the car makes a ticking noise while its OFF, then its just your exhaust system being really hot.
