Re: valve tap!!! (educated opinions please) 700 1990

Hello Jason:

What shape are your exhaust manifold gaskets in? Do your manifolds still have their full complement of studs? The reason I am asking is because some of the studs have fallen out of my v-6 (B280F like yours) and at first I thought I had some valve noise, which is actually a small exhaust leak. It is probably worth a look...

The reason that the valves need adjustment is because they are not hydraulic, rather they are solid like in the old aircooled VWs.

I have not had any trouble with motor mounts on my '89 yet, touch wood...

How often do you have your valves adjusted, and how much does it cost?
