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 |

The Larson/Thorusen method depends on the 914-4 motor having the cylinders on the opposite sides of the motor using the same cam lobes. You can probably get away with it on a DOHC motor like the 911 one, but I wouldn't want to be the first to do so...
BTW, I talked to some 914-6 owners (and 75+ 911 owners) locally, and they all agreed that there was only one trick to it: "Pay someone else to do it!" (No, I'm not really kidding....) --DD |
