Too loose opens and closes too soon, changes the valve timing, fuel-to-air ratio, power output, fuel consumption, and eventually results in one or more bent pushrods and camshaft/ lifter damage. In rare instances, the head will break off the stem, damaging the head, piston, and possibly bending...

I probably could do the job he is doing using only my toes. My wife could and has done much more complicated service repairs by herself.

Your dealer could not find them??????? Part # 15451-73940 Guide, Water

I have easily done 75 + and 95% of the time at least 2 valves are too loose. Some I have found at .011" to .013" lash on 1000-hour-plus engines. On the V3307 and V3800, most of the valves will have as much as 50% too much lash at 1000 hours. We are having more people get them adjusted, as it...

What is stamped into the transmission case?

The capacity listed in your operator's manual is to fill a dry engine, not the capacity for changing the engine oil. A dipstick's purpose is to gauge the fluid level.

That's what I was wondering!!

Your light is not grounding. Loosen the nut under the fender and retighten it a couple of times.
