minus-squareOnomatopoeia@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoI’ve never met an engine that doesn’t need valve adjustments, even with hydraulic lifters. Now the adjustment period is far longer today, like in the 100k miles range. Just be glad you rarely see shim/bucket adjustment these days. Boy was that a bitch.
minus-squareTwentySeven@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThe engines I’ve seen with hydraulic lifters do not have anything to adjust. Unless you’re talking about cleaning out the oil ports when they start to stick, but I wouldn’t call that an adjustment. Could you give an example? I’m curious (Not a professional, just interested in cars)
