Re: [T3] engine questions???

I guess rockers with too much gap make a tapping sound, though, so it could
need doing.  If the valve stem ends are dished, you could have too much
clearance even if they are to specification.

Valves should be adjusted every 3000 mi. Valves that need adjustment
do not make noise, they just do not close all the way. Not adjusting
your valves regularly is a sure way to destroy your engine.

I agree entirely.  Don't let this stop you taking one spare injector along,
just in case.

If you want to buy injectors you should just buy the correct Bosch
parts, but there is really no good reason to do this. They are not
one of the likely parts to fail on you, so this is probably just a
waste of money.

If you really want to fix something, replace all the=§Âóse,
including that crimped to the injectors, and your fuel filter. This
will cost about what 1 injector might cost and might well save you a
considerable inconvenience.
