Valves

Ok I'm putting my injectors in this weekend and was wondering if I should adjust my valves. I have 67k on the clock. Thanks,

Paul

I really don't think you have to worry about that yet. I have 157k and I haven't had a problem. It couldn't hurt just to check, but I don't think its nessicary.

The 24v's don't really need them until about 150k and even then it's not to big a deal. A buddy of mine did his somewhere around 180k and there were only a couple that were out of adjustment.

O rings

Also I have the shopkey program and it says to replace the o ring on the connector tubes. Should I? TIA,

Now, thats a good idea to do. Those things can get messed up so easy. You can also get air in the lines and cause a hard start if one or more are messed up. Since you are gonna have it apart, it would be a good idea to change the o-rings. IMO
