Tidgy Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 why do you need the valve clearances adjusted? thats a head rebuild job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Yep the valves work with hydraulic lifters . Unless your lucky enough to have the "under bucket shim " type heads ,then they can be adjusted slightly by fitting different size shims . Either way your probably looking at a engine out and top end rebuild unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i know,had it serviced at edmotorsport.co.uk and he said they needed adjusting. When i tried to book it in , he said had not got his shim kit.
