Re: Valve Lash AKA Valve Adjustment
Yup, its real easy.
Open hood.
Drink beer.
Done.
Hydraulic lash adjusters(HLA's), zero adjustment needed in the lifetime of the motor.
If you're hearing valvetrain noise, its likely collapsed or seized lifters. They can in some cases be cleaned but may also need replaced.
Search here and on clubprotege.com for HLA cleaning.

Re: Valve Lash AKA Valve Adjustment
Holy cow, I'm glad I saw this thread! I've been hearing a bit of noise that I believe is valve related, and have been mentally preparing to "get around to it". I've been expecting valve adjustment like a bike's engine, but I'll be better armed after searching for that!
