Title: LoveBus repairs
Post by: lovebus (jack) on May 09, 2013, 10:14:18 am
I don't believe I let the valve adjustment go for so long, as posted on FB this is the first I adjusted the valves sense I got the bus. I had two valves that were a little tight slap&head

The swivel footed adjusting screws are a pain because the screw is hex head and its harder to hold the adjustment using an allen wrench while tightening the nut.

Boy time flys by, it was a year that I changed the oil last. even so the heads and valve covers were clean as can be. I dropped the strainer plate to check for any bearing ware or other foreign particles laying there but it was clean as a whistle like the heads. I only put 1,434 Miles on the bus last year, I thought it was more. I replaced the oil filter, and I wright the millage and date on the filter.

Thanks John but not doing a tune up but I'll need help when I do a reseal before I do the RT=66 trip.

Dam, it took me all day just to do what I did, I use to be able to do that in an hour.  %$oldcit

The secret is not closing your eyes for 2 hours while you're under there!  #@rofl3
