Dealer mentioned it. I do do road courses and drive the car decently hard, but hear not clicking, etc. Idle is a little high but I beleive that is due to the cooler weather.

Do I need to get the valve adjustment done?

 

Yes, do it.

 

do it yourself

 

It's easy...your going to change your oil anyways...all it will cost you is about 12 bucks (for the blue seal and gap gadge). Do it yourself.

 

I am due for an adjustment as well, could somebody post a procedure with pics if available, I dont want to mess something up and blow my fugg engine on my new TypeR Also where would I get those tools from, Local?

damn guys, thanx

 

I do it every 15k (or less) just for kicks.

 

Did my links not help you out? Anyway the tool that you need can be ordered from snap-on and get a set of feeler gauges and maybe an new head gasket.

HTH

 

can u notice much of a difference? do they really move a noticable amount, i am thinking of doing mine like over the weekend

 

Car seems to run a bit smoother and quieter. I did notice that my valves were a good deal out of spec though...Valve job is easy to do and if you do it yourself you save at least 90$. If you've got the right tools it can be accomplished w/in 2hrs. I say go for it and post if you have more questions.

 

how do you do a valve adjustment

 

I won't answer that question

With practice you can do it pretty quickly. I can do mine in about 30-45 minutes (first time it took a while!).

 

Valve adjustment is part of my spring maintenance on my ITR

The absolute easiest maintenance thing to do, IMHO, is changing the tranny oil...I can't believe they charge more for this than engine oil change (labor).

 

Did you read this tread????

Here ya go...again...

Great Info. Definately gonna save this post for later!

 

How about AssPenny go **** himself cause he's a little bitch.

 

I do a valve adjustment every 10k-15k miles. Keeps everything nice and quite. Every local auto shop should have the tools you need to do the adjustment yourself. And buy a helms if you're not sure about it

Arno-Who agrees with Asspenny about the search function

 

I havent got one and im at 50 Gs

 

Can an engine be damaged by going too long w/out a valve adjustment?

 

the engine will slowly lose power and you'll start eating valves.

and no woman on earth will go near you.

 

i recommend at least every 15K, 10K if you do it yourself or can afford to take to dealer every 10K. 10K is only if you do a lot of high rev driving.
