I check them after the first hour of running after new or after the head has been re-installed for any reason. After that about every 10 - 25 hours of running time or after each season.

It's not as if it's going to be pouring out clouds of smoke like a '59 caddy that has seen better days to know it needs a valve adjustment.
I'm a newb with 4s. Gimme a lesson.

RE: Valve adjustments on 4 stroke motors
Hi can anyone tell me the correct method of setting the valve timing on a super custom 91 ? also has anyone had the gears on the crankshaft and the gears on the cam shaft jump damaging the gears and upsetting the vave timing, is this a common problem? Thanks briands.
