I have 187,000 KM / 115,000 miles on my air-cooled and I'm thinking about pro-actively doing a valve job, replacing the valve seats, and replacing the valve cover gaskets while I'm at it. How long should this take? Should I just wait until 150,000 miles or is it worth doing now? Pokey is going away for the winter shortly is it better to wait until spring? Thanks, Chris Gronski Toronto, Ontario, '80 Westy "Pokey" '87 Chevrolet Sprint (Ice Racer) '91 Pontiac Firefly Convertible |
