I have 83K on the odometer, and valve lash has never been adjusted.. but i
just have such a hard time believing that is needs to be done already, I've
talk to a lot of Ford shops that people have brought SHO's to and they said
they've never seen one under 100K that's needed to be done...maybe they
don't know what they're doing though.,... i don't know
