Mileage Milestones Part 2

[mattmcuomo@yahoo.com]

Matt, any major problems, parts replaced, how about valve adjustment, any done??

No major problems. And no, I've never checked the valve clearance. I change the oil every 4000 miles and I only use Honda 10/40 (never synthetic) and a Honda oil filter.

Matt, you've never even checked your valves? That's pretty incredible. Do you plan to ever check your valves? If you do, please post the clearances you measure at that time.

Why do you not use synthetic motor oil?

Thanks.

Maybe I'll check them eventually. Probably after 200,000 miles, I don't know... As far as synthetic oil, I've never been a fan. My son put synthetic in my truck not too long ago and now it leaks oil. I know a few people that have had the same problem. I think it hardens the gaskets and seals.
