Why is one valve gap bigger than the other?

The valve gap has to be checked when the rocker arm is on the "bottom" of the cam eccentric. This means that the cam has to be rotated as you check each valve, to get a correct reading. There can be variation in the valve gap due to uneven wear, but in a well maintained vehicle, this should be a very small variance.


Why do the rockers make noise?

How do you adjust the valve on a 86 Porsche 944?

To adjust the valve on a 1986 Porsche 944, first, ensure the engine is cold and remove the valve cover. Then, using a feeler gauge, measure the gap between the rocker arm and the valve stem for each cylinder. Adjust the gap by turning the adjusting screw on the rocker arm until the feeler gauge fits snugly, maintaining the specified clearance (typically around 0.008 inches for intake and 0.010 inches for exhaust). Finally, recheck the adjustments and reassemble the valve cover.
