want make shure did not set valve to small
« on: January 16, 2005, 21:30:45 »

Adjusted my valves today and not sure it I did it too tight.
Intake 0.003 ex. 0.007, it can pull the gauge and it is very tight but still goes through, does that mean I am ok on this?

thanks

Hello Erick,
You should be ok. I like to adjust until the feeler guage is locked tight and then loosen until it slides out with a snug feel.
