How long until bad things happen?
« on: Dec 11, 2004, 04:58:15 AM »
I have a reman 22r in my truck, I have about 3000 miles on her already. I am noticing that it needs a valve adjustment, which I was told is typical with reman motors. Is the ticking valve going to go bad over time> ?  I have been too lazy to get it fixed. I plan on doing it before Christmas however Im not sure on the cost of a valve adjustment.

nah, but it's a good idea to adjust it.  it's not all that hard, just takes a feeler gauge, screwdriver and a wrench

Just remember when you adjust em that it's better to have them a little loose than too tight.  Light ticking isn't usually bad, but a lower sound means trouble,   Nate
