Hey all,
I have this week off, and snow melt has turned the place into mud city so I figure this is a good time to give it some TLC.
Newbie valve adjust question... I know the engine should be stone cold, not run for at least 24 hours before adjusting the values. But does air temp cause any problems? When I adjusted them previously, it was "room temperature" (70'ish degrees). But this week it is going to be ranging 20 to 50. Is adjusting valves in the cold a bad thing? Do I need a heated garage? (Well, yeah. I need one, but that is not happening
)
Thanks!
Brian
