[Shotimes] New Member, Need Help, Valve Lash Adj.

[Robert M.]

What's up all you SHO lovers? Just joined the list, so work with me if I do something wrong. I am in N.W. Georgia and am the current owner of a 93 black on black 5-speed with 130,000 miles. I picked up this car with a top end noise and am not real sure what to do. I talked to a guy at Ford Performance Specialists, he said it sounded like a timing chain tensioner, replaced the tensioner, but I am going to do a valve lash adjustment while the v/c are off (gaskets are $78 for v/c, Fel-Pro @ Auto Zone). I have a Ford Service Manual, but the checking with the feeler gauge is not very detailed. I also don't have the special tools yet, so I am not ready to do the replacement of the shims right now, but I can see how far off they are, which ones need replaced. Thanks for all your help.                                                                        Robert M.
