Just adjusted the valves on my '74 2.0 FI
Now oil temp gauge is creeping toward the red zone. I'm never certain how much drag is correct on the feeler gauge, but I think i'm pretty close to .006 intake and .008exhaust. It's not the first time I've done it, but I never feel like I'm 100% dead nuts when I finish. Could a little deviation result in a hotter engine? Thanks |
