#84732 greyphart (User) bad idea+ experience = good judgement Gold Boarder Posts: 979 Torqueing the valves 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Guy I met this weekend had a 1600 also and said I'm gonna need the valves re-torqued at 17,000 miles. Is that a given for the 99 to 03's or is is dependent on level of riding? Don't think he'd yank my chain as he's a chaplain with the local CMA.

If you are listening to your motor you will know when. But if you're nervous, then certainly break it open and check them out. I have a 1600.

Strange but true. Maybe I'll run it past the Yami wizards next week for peace of mind and seein' as how I got that extended warranty I ain't used yet (into 2nd year). Thanks Doc.

'cause it's fuzzy. If you want, send me a good clear pic and I'll resize it for you ... unless the original looks like that.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1825 Re:Torqueing the valves 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Like Doc says...your engine will tell ya. I just had mine done last weekend, I could hear a certain kinda louder tick in the front cylinder, and a small popping out of the exhaust at the exact same time. Figured it wouldnt hurt to get it done. I have an 04' 1700 with 17k...Yami guesses pretty good on the milage to check em'. But since it was done, it runs MUCH better. I know guys who have 25k and 32k on thiers and they havent touched them yet. Luck of the draw.   Logged     2004 Midnite Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access.
