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 |

Thank you for the tips, everyone.
I have headers on the car, so I'll have a bit more room than the last time I had to work on the valves. It was so long ago, that I figured I'd ask for tips. JP, you mentioned marking the flywheel. 1 and 4 should be at Z1. I remember that. Will watching distributor position make any difference at all? I have the appropriate feeler gauge, with extra blades. IIRC, Wes Hildreth apparently buys blade material in long strips, and dispenses with even using the holder. I haven't found a source for those strips yet. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) P.S. I've got a storage area rented, and will move the /6 there tonight. Tomorrow I'll start screwing with the valves, after I lay down plastic and drain all the oil out. Any other ideas between now and then will be welcome! |
