Subject: Valve adjustments Author: DanT [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07/ 10/ 02, 3:38am We recently returned from a 2400 mile vacation and I wanted to pass on a few observations. I generally do most work on my coach myself. (1980 FC) Last year when we got back I decided to change the carpet and add some sound deadening insulation to the front of the coach. I dedided that I might as well have the valves adjusted at this time since there would be no better time to tear out the dog house. A friend who is a school bus mechanic agreed to do the work as my time lately has been limited. I can't believe the difference in how the coach ran after a simple valve adjustment. It never ran poorly and my friend said that none of the valves were out much so I am stunned at the difference. Less smoke, more pep, better speed retention climbing hills and best of all a little over a half a mile per gallon in fuel mileage improvement. The other change was the addition of a sound deading insulation under the carpet and coating the dog house. Big sound difference hear to as well as a tempature difference as well. We got ahold of Soundown insulation company and bought it from their. Lots of products and priced fairly. Shipping is a little high as most of this stuff is lead based sound deadener.
