[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1427635, member: 19880"] I absolutely wouldn't pass on the first valve clearance check and would not pass any check if any of the valves were close to the limit on the previous service. I am reasonably risk aversive but wouldn't be overly concerned about extending the interval if there was lots of room in the adjustment. Is it better to check on schedule? Absolutely, but I would have no concern extending it to the end of a season; especially if they were in the middle of the acceptance interval the last time. Clearances just don't change that quickly unless something has gone wrong. In that case, valve clearances might be the least of your worries! [/QUOTE]
