Valve Adjustment

(1/1)

David72Vette:
Hi,  

I've recently purchased my first Corvette a 72 Roadster.

Im going through the manual and ticking off all the items listed under servicing and I've noticed that it says to adjust the tappets even though the car has hydralic lifters.

I've never had a car with hydralics that requires adjustment.

Do you guys out there adjust the tappets?

Thanks for you help
Dave

you will not have to touch them unless they are noisy and in that case you would nearly need a rebuild so dont worry about it.
