I've only done one valve adjustment on my /6, and that was under the watchful eye of Wes Hildreth.
The valves are a bit noisy when cold. I've checked the archives and have an old copy of the PP tech article for the 911. Tricks or helpful tips, anyone? -Rusty |

there doesn't seem to be any magick, other than making sure you've drained the oil and got a new set of silicone-bead gaskets. i don't have a lot of stick time on this procedure myself, personally, as in hands-on. some people swear you -have- to pull the heat exchangers "to do the job properly" -- and some are just as adamant you don't. i guess it's a personal issue on 'properly' - i donno. put some penetrating oil on the studs & nuts ahead of time just in case, have some spare studs, and a new set of exhaust port gaskets standing by is what i'd do...
i -do- know that having the appropriate feeler gauge - the hook-shaped one that has a place for fingers to grab and a teeny blade where the dot would be on a question mark ( ? ) is the preferred tool for the job. |
