What are the symptoms of needing a valve adjustment?
When do I need to have a valve adjustment? You should have your valve lash inspected at manufacturers recommended intervals. A sure sign that it’s time for a valve lash adjustment is if your engine is making a loud clicking or tapping noise when starting up or if you experience a loss in engine power.
Does valve adjustment affect idle?
Unless they’re adjusted so wrong and are to tight, the valve adjustment won’t affect the idling. That will keep them from closing all the way. Either you have a vacuum leak from an unhooked hose or your valves were not adjusted correctly.
How long does a valve adjustment take?
Pros bill for half an hour to an hour. If you haven’t done it before it’s going to take you longer than 20/45 minutes. The time going to vary based on how many are out of spec. If you have to adjust all 16 it’s going to take you longer than if you only have to do 2.
