this is something i dont want to even try myself.
to the best of my knowledge, in 212k mile, my 60 has never had any sort of valve adjustment, compression test, or similar fixes.
it burns more oil than i think it should, about 1 quart ever 750-1000 miles, and its real hard to keep a good idle. i can get a constant 16+/- on my vac guage at low ide ( when it does idle low) and about 23 at high idle, maybe 1200-1500 rpm.
there does not seem to be any manifold issues, at least i cant get anything when i spra carb cleaner around the intake.
it did improve last time, when i replaced the plugs about 1500 miles ago. three of the six were completely fouled, with no gap at all.
any sugestions?
several people have sugested a valve adjustment. what should i expect to pay for one?
