valve adjustment on the 1.7 and 1.8 need only be done every 6,000 miles

One other point, I don't believe was mentioned -
as I recall, valve adjustment on the 1.7 and 1.8
need only be done every 6,000 miles, whereas on
the 2.0 the requirement is every 3,000 - please confirm?
Thanks!

I thought it was 12,000.

I opened a post in our forums. A Pelican community member may be able to answer your question.

It depends on who you ask... The factory workshop manual recommends checking the valve adjustment every 5,000 miles for 1972+ four-cylinder 914s, which is the same as the oil change interval that they recommend.

I prefer to change oil every 3000 miles, and adjust my valves every other oil change--so 6000 miles.
