When adjusting valves with swivel foot adjusters, are you adjusting them with "0" lash or .004 that Porsche recommends? My thinking "0" lash does not allow for heat expansion and the valves will not fully seat. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

BTW, my "zero lash" isn't really 0, it's just as tight as I can make it while still feeling/hearing a little "give".
Makes me feel a tad better. |

Twist them in with my fingers till they JUST touch the valve stem. I usually end up backing them off and in a few times to make sure I get the feel right for that cylinder. Then I use the stubby screwdriver to make sure the adjuster won't move when I snug down the jam nuts. Zach |
