Ahh
Thanks Skippy!
I was hoping that might be the case
I read somewhere a while back that the valve clearance were checked & adjusted every 6 months, but couldn't remember which engine it referred to...All the BEST!

I wonder how often it was done when licensed. And how often do you check the clearance now when the cab is retired? All the BEST! /Magnus |

The Nissan 2.7 has valve clearance adjusters (tappets). The valve clearances have to be set,they are not hydraulic or self adjusting.. Normally about every 20,000 miles will do. |

Got to be honest,never touch mine,the 2.7 seems pretty indestructible ! I have in the past when one sounded rough. |

Agreed,once set they pretty much stay that way.My old foreman used to say he worried when he couldn't hear the tappets on any car,it meant the valve clearances were closing. |
