Valve Clearance

NOTE: On 3.0L SHO and 3.2L SHO models, valve clearance is adjustable. On 2.5L models, valve clearance is zero and adjustment is not possible. On all other models, hydraulic valve lifters are used and valve adjustment is not required. If incorrect valve clearance is suspected, lifter must be collapsed before clearance can be checked.
