I went 75Kmiles plus probably 25 or 50k for a total of 100 to 125kmiles on my valves...I just don't know what the previous owner did. The car would still start easily down to about 20 to 25 degrees but had problems below that, and fuel economy was down about 20%.

I would bet that you can easily go 30kmiles without much of a problem. I tried to get that data from people months ago, but just couldn't get how much each valve had to be adjusted for a given mileage.

I plan on adjusting mine every 2 years (about 28kmiles), and am going to run this car until one of three things occur (1) It has so little compression it won't start at 30 degrees with a block heater, or (2) it blows the engine or the tranny, or (3) it gets Killed in Action.

I'm doing a life test on this baby.

PS...before you adjust the valves...think about how you're going to turn the crankshaft. That's what caused me the most trouble of all.
