davebugs Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Please stick to one (or two) threads. I swear I just saw someone already answer this. More threads certainly isn't the answer. Search Wait patiently on the thread already started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine73 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Right, you loosen the locknut, then turn the adjusting screw to increase or decrease the clearance as necessary. You need a good set of feeler gauges to do this job. It takes a little bit of knowing the 'feel' if you will of feeler gauges, as to how they slide into the gap and when it is' just right'.

idosubaru Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 don't click anything yet and scroll to the bottom left of the current page you're looking at - you'll see an entire list of valve adjustment threads already here. the search function gives similar solutions - instant answers! yours being SOHC is the super easy kind - just remove valves covers and have some feeler gauges, really simple actually. it's the DOHC EJ25's that are a real debacle.
