Re: Noisy valves after adjustment

Hi David, I would definitely stop there. Something is not right. I can't recall the correct sequence but are adjusting them when at TDC 1 & 6? Use the dissy cap/ rotor to verify you are at the correct cylinder - sounds stupid but seen it done before. Apart from that I am at a loss, .010 is too s...

Re: Spintires - PC game

Yep, it does after an hour or so..... ;)

Supposedly the online game play is better but I haven't tried it.

I just hop on and vent some steam after playing Project Cars (the ultimate car sim).

Re: Spintires - PC game

If anyone wants to try before buying the is a "tech demo" available for free from the spin tired website. It's quite limited, but should give a rough feel for the game. I tried it last year, but my old laptop graphics weren't up to the job. Ah.... Yes! I forgot to mention that. Thanks Mat...

Re: Noisy valves after adjustment

Hi Dave, I always adjust my valves hot. As I pointed out, drop your valves by 0.01 and try it again. Still noisy, drop them another 0.01 and so on. Slight chatter is better than nothing. If you can't hear them you risk burning the valves. Going by the manual is great but take it as a starting point....

Re: Noisy valves after adjustment
