let me start this by saying this is my first REAL attempt at a valve adjustment, and I am by no means an expert, so take this information at your OWN RISK.

The purpose of this video is to simply illustrate the valve adjustment process since pictures and the DIY guides are VERY foreign to someone who has actually never dug around under the cam cover.

I only hope that someone can find this useful IN CONJUNCTION with the DIY guides available, and their HELMS manual.

I am completely open to criticism on this video, as any tips or corrections can be beneficial to those who may be watching.

 

I have seen the other video on youtube which was already pretty complete. But its always nice to have a second source to be able to reference to.

Kudos to you for trying this, cause i'm kinda afraid to try this myself.. im considering it though.

By the way: it sounds a lot more smooth after

 

Not bad for showing someone what is actually going on when you adjust. But I am sure you are going to some recommendations by people on here on how to cut down on time and some help on terminology.

I used a 90 degree open ended wrench and adjusted with the in-spec feeler below to a constant drag. Also, having a helper with this will cut down on time.

 

the idle noise from the before and after videos sound completely different. i'm assuming this is normal when your valves are out of spec?

 

Hey thanks for video.

 

Nice video. I'm adding it to the collection of things to review before I do this myself this fall.
