| I have 3L (2.8 L diesel) and am wondering if the valves have to be adjusted at any regular interval or do they adjust themselves automatically??? | |

| If the valve seats wear the valve gap closes after VERY high mileage or overheating or ? head gasket gone .
If you want to check them I have the 3L engine manual plus all the shim sizes - its a bug*** to get 'em right. | |

| I have not had overheating issues, only at 150,000 km, and it's running fine. I was just wondering if there was a suggested milage to adjust them.
I'll leave them alone because like my father use to say...
If it's not broken, don't break it. | |

| Are these the specs for the 3.0l or the 2.8? Just wondering if you guys have the clearances for the 3.0l? | |

Let me know if setting the valve clearance on your 2LT helps with the white smoke. I saw you post about that on another thread. I've heard the 2.4 is prone to blowing head gaskets. I don't want to throw that evil on you Ricky Bobby, I've got my fingers crossed for you that she just needs a tune up. | |

| So my hiace is no longer smoking after I blocked the EGR. No white, blue, or black smoke. I regained all of my lost power but I was hoping that adjusting the valves, turning up the fuel pump, and adding a manual boost controller to up the boost a few pounds will give me the power I'm really looking for. | |

| I'd love to see pictures of how you blocked the EGR. I've heard all the reasons why they put these in cars but I really think we would all be better off without them. | |
