Greetings and Salutations: I adjusted the valves as per Bob Donald's post of lately to 006". I performed a compression test immediately before and after. There was no noticable change in performance or noise. If nothing else I am hoping it will reduce the occasional lifter leakdown. The engine has 230K miles on it, here are the results in psi: Cylinder Before After 1 130 140 2 155 170 3 165 185 4 155 175 I'll will return results of of any gas mileage improvements when available. Any comments welcome. Ken Lewis 86 Transporter Crew Cab, 60 T-5 Coupe http://neksiwel.20m.com/ O2 sensor monitor gadget, my cars, Vanagon Tech http://EB03.20m.com/ Everybus 2003 pictures |
