valve adjustment
How much am i lookin to pay for an adjustment?
|
Well i wouldnt think very much. its not very hard just a matter of getting valve covers off and probably putting new gaskets on= 50 bucks. And then setting the engine and adjusting accordingly. I would say no more than $ 100 bucks including new gaskets if they are still around that price.
|
well gaskets ain't but a year old...prolly can't convince the shop to leave em tho. thanks thats kinda what i would think. 1hr. labor @75-90$

I use the companion method (bottom of page)
B Series Valve Adjustment and its.. wait... for.... it.... FREE! :jump: |
would love to do it but just aint got the time!
|
I would have to know the mechanic... I wouldn't trust a typical automotive mechanic under the age of 40 with knowing how to use a feeler gauge. Not the normal operation.
It definitely shouldn't take longer than an hour, unless something's really buggered up. |
Last I checked Cummins Southern Plains charged $125 for a valve adjustment. I would trust cummins before I trusted anybody else with my engine.

ya i ain't gunna take it to any random place that is for sure. nothin messed up with the ol dodge....its got 135k now and as far as i know it never has had an adjustment. previous owner wrote down anything and everything that was done to the truck so....pretty sure it needs one. with the ol hood stack i can hear it if i am goin down a hill and let off it enough but not all the way.
thanks fellas |
It would take more time to drive somewhere leave it and wait for them to do it then go pick it up, than to do it yourself.

I am curious about the 24k miles adjustment interval stated by Cummins. I wonder how many planned on doing this every 24k only to check and find them still spot on at .10 and .20?
