Another item for the to-do list. Do you use the electric starter swith or manual crank method? I've recently changed the plugs and don't really want to pull them just for the valve adjustment. The stater method sounds easier (less time cosuming), but it seems like it would be diffucult to get the cam in exactly the right position.


Try the link below, it's fairly simple to do. They should be adjusted every 15k miles, or with every Insp. I & II. If the engine has missed a few oil changes or has been run alot at higher rpm's, it wouldn't hurt to check them more frequently.
