Sometime in the near future I am going to do a probably necessary valve adjustment on my car. Ive never done a valve adjustment before, I was planning on using the DIY post as my guide. However I had another idea, and that was maybe someone in our group who is familiar with this, that doesnt live a long ways off would be able to meet up and walk me through the process so I dont mess anything up. I got free beers for the person who is up for it. ANYONE ANYONE?

 

Sounds like you should arrange a valvle adjustment clinic followed by a spirited drive. It would be the first meet that I know of in the triad.

 

well if u can wait a while im waiting for my valve springs to arrive to put in my toda camshafts...
that way my friend will teach me how to adjust the valves while doing the installation process... the specs are different but i can apply the valve adjustment procedure with stock cam specs. ill tell you if im confident to do it

 

I'm interested in lending a hand!

I'll take a Sam Adams.

 

Sounds like an idea to me, seems like there are plenty of us interested in getting together on this one. Its late and im tired and i cannot think of where and when, so tomorrow fellas ill get with whoever is up for the idea and see what we can all arrange, look forward to getting together

 

Ok fellas... so whats teh deal, my roommate has a garage im sure he might would let us use for the day, if not i can always just bust in at my parents house (they wouldnt mind). When is a good time for everyone?? Btw, to do a valve adjustment shouldnt the care be stone cold???

 

3hours cool down

 

So is anyone still up for helping me out with this??? I dont know if anyone has seen my post in the UTH section, but I had my oil plug pop out on me ( yea you read that right) after meeting Airgate, sheadlee and bluestreak for dinner. Fortunately, I managed to keep the engine together and it appears to not have suffered any damage. But I think it would be a very good idea to adjust the valves after that scary incident. If not I suppose I can wing it, Im pretty mechanicly inclined. Not to mention, Dean is trying to arrange a triad meet speaking of the matter so itd probably be the first. I got a case of beer waiting~!

 

Anyone still up for the ante? Beers, whatever kind you want for the person who helps me? Also, see the "Triad meet" possiblity thread too.
