valve adjustment causing problems?
 
Gentlemen (and some ladies no dought)

Has anyone had any engine problems which have been related to incorrect valve adjustment?

How about describing the engine problem and we can then let you know if it is possible to be related to a valve adjustment.

As a generic answer, misadjusted valves can create quite a number of problems, from very mild to catstrophic. Kurt's right, post the problems and someone will probably know if they're related to misadjusted valves.

It is typical for it to leak antifreeze and ruin muffler bearings if there is a valve out of adjustmant. I even had a wiper go bad, and headlight go out because of it.

A valve out of adjustment has just cause me to have to replace my stock steering wheel with a 930S. Will tell the wife: "Sorry hun, stuff just happens and they have to be fixed!"

My recent valve adjustment caused so many problems I'm going to have to buy a 993.

If valve adjustments could not cause problems, valves would not have to be adjusted. Some questions just make me feel like I am smart. Thanks for making my day :D
