Re: Valve clearances (how long to do this?)
Hi Folks, I don't post here much but tend to read a bit.
Regarding my 2002 Curvey which has only done just under 6000 miles from new; about to pull her out of hibernation and wondered whether the valve clearances should be checked this time round (never done until now) despite the low mileage? No noises or anything to concern but they go tight not loose so just wondered what you think. Thanks, George. |

If I was doing a big rebuild I'd check them as matter of course but they'll be fine in your case.
