    help

    Anyone in the IE free right now? My valves are ridiculous loud and I need help adjusting them so I can go to work tomorrow. I've never adjusted valves before so I don't trust my ability to do them. I am willingly to shoot a couple bucks to anyone that knows what they're doing to help me I'm in highland text or call me 9097715895

    If I were anywhere near there I'd help you, but in all honesty it's really easy. I did mine the other day for the first time as well. All you need is a set of feeler gauges and a couple wrenches. Just follow this and you'll be alright: http://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/tech...lve_Adjust.htm

        I did it. The valves are still loud as hell. I'm thinking a new head and valve train

            They're really easy. Try adjusting them to .008.
            When my valves are at .010" they are loud!

                Do not follow this advice. There is a clearance spec for a reason.

                          Time to rebuild your head then. No other option.
