Why and When You Need It
If your machine is performing poorly, starts hard, backfires, or has a noisy valve train, it may be time for a valve adjustment. The valves are timed to the piston movement via the timing chain and other components — if they're out of adjustment, the motor's intake, power, or exhaust stroke may stop working correctly. Recommended on your manufacturer's interval, or at the first sign of these symptoms.
