Default Timing Belt installed ...valve adjustment necessary ?

The cams and valvetrain were not touched, however were adjusted a few months ago. I just changed the timing belt is it neccesary to do a valve adjustment after this installation ?

PS cam caps were not even loosend.

You should be fine if they were done right a few months ago, but again.. it never hurts to check. And it should only take ten minutes to get the valve cover off, use a feeler gage and then put the valve cover back on. Or thirty minutes if you need to adjust the valves.

Is there a reason why you're thinking you need a valve adjustment? If I were you I wouldn't worry about it unless something is making you think you need a valve adjustment.

never hurts to check while you have it apart already.
