Ok, so the old gal is approaching 30,000 miles but still running smooth and strong with no knocking, rattling etc
I do all the easy stuff myself like oil changes, plugs, coolant, brake pads and so on...but...I was thinking of getting her booked in for valve clearance checks and maybe checking the cam chain too.
My question is: Is it worth doing as I have read all sorts of info on here from guys having done 115k without valve clearance checks and all fine, to others who needed to have valves re-shimmed and stretched cam chains replaced at 25k?
I know that by the book the valves should have been done at around 24k, but as I couldnt detect any problems I thought I would leave until either 30k or an issue arose beforehand.
Advice and thoughts welcomed.
