    Is there a right up on how to do a valve adjustment on 87 325is

    I have never adjusted the valves and I have owned the car for 50k and it has 250k on it. Are there any specific tools needed and what is the skill level? Thanks

    yeah there is, it's inside a book called the bentley E30 manual. you can buy it on amazon.com for about $30. As a bonus it tells you how to do a lot of other things too.

      Thanks. I have a bentley, I did not even think to look there. Do you think the adjustment is necessary and worth the work?

        absolutely - it's not even very hard, it can just be time consuming.
