Time to adjust the valves on a '93 ATX, with 120,000 miles on the car (and
(gulp) its never been done). I have looked at the article on the Shotimes, and
have a couple of questions
1) If you have a ATX, will keeping the car in gear and pushing it back and
forth to reposition the cam work?? If not, is there another way, then possibly
"bumping" the starter
2) As for the shims and valve adjustment tools, since I am on the east coast,
can somebody explain to me how the rental from SP motorsports works?? costs
involved?? If the kit comes with shims, you have to pay for those shims you
use?? Is this also available from Autozone??
3) once the intake is off, how much time are we talking about to do this job??
4) At 120,000, will most of my shims probably need to be replaced?
Thanks
Bob
