Noisy Valves

lash is just another word for clearance. adjusting valve lash is the same thing as adjusting valve clearance. You have to go in there with a feeler gauge and measure how much clearance you have, then you have to remove the cams and shims, measure what size shim was in there, calculate how much clearance was in there and then you can figure out what size shim you now need. dows that make sense?

yea that does, and ive read about it in the TSRM before and it just sounds like a pain in the ass with all those valves.

Oh its a real pain in the ass. But the thing is im sure you will find many of them are already in spec and very close, so you wont need to mess with a lot of them.
