When I got my '75 300D. I removed the valve cover several times to adjust the valves. I never did encounter one that needed adjusting! I just gave up on the process and drove it another 140k after that without ever adjusting the valves. I must admit that it was not smart to do so and an an engineer I should have known better, but what I wnat to know is: Is it uncommon that valves stay in spec or was it possible that I was not performing the task correctly?
