I noticed an oil leak from my valve cover gasket at 95,000 miles. ......
He documented all the valves on paper and found all intake valves well in spec. Only one exhaust valve was out at .005. However, he decided after exhaust cam removal that adjusting all exhaust valves to center was easy enough to do. Seven out of eight exhaust valves and all intake valves were still in spec and this is after 95K. H........
I still find it hard to comprehend going through the tedious and dangerous steps of removing cams and adjusting valves that are in spec just to put them all in the center or loose end of spec.
So, want to reveal the dimensions he "actually recorded on paper" for us to peruse?
I don't foresee that happening Max, as I am but a lowly Amateur, Shade tree, mechanic, with no clue, and no credentials to offer valid input about anything... or even to caution people...
Rich, don't put yourself down so much ... I heard you have quite a way with lawn mowers.
Oh, wait a minute ... never mind, that's some guy in Florida. Sorry.
We all started somewhere... I actually turned my mower repair business over to my father, when I was 15, he made quite a business out of it, and was still doing them up till he passed away at 90...Do what ever makes you happy and places appropriate dollars into your pocket. After retirement from 30 years in professional sales, went back into retail. Hours suck and concrete floors are HARD, but I'm having fun. Hope you continue to do so too. I also enjoy your polite and conservative attitude you have here. Makes me smile... tp
I moved on to bikes, he never wanted to work on those.... I'm thinking about getting back into the mower thing tho, the shop is still setup, and with bins and cabinets full of new parts he stocked, might be lucrative.. besides, people don't tend to call azz on ya when you got their mower in pieces, and the grass is getting high...
Thank goodness Bubba lives in Fla, he would put me outta business...
Is the chart MOB used available online? With an explanation on how to fill it out.
