Valve Adjustments and Valve Guides 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Chris on  Tue Jun 25 14:52 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Depending how the car was cared for since new, it is quite plausible. Usually the exhaust valves will run out of shim sizes first. Camshaft may be worn too, but not as likely. I've got a car with your situation at 200,000 mi, two exhaust valves have the thinnest shims. Unlessy your guides are so worn that you're getting blue smoke under heavy load, just live with it. Of course, it is a good excuse for an engine overhaul, oversized valves, high lift cam, .030" over on the cylinders.
