My First S54 Vlave Adjustment after MANY S14 valve adjustments.
First. thanks for the guidance, advise, and valve kit, goes to Mark (Blind32).
Let me say this, compared to a valve adjustment on an S14 engine this was CAKE! Somewhat similar though in engine design. S14 shims are about the size of a quarter, I was shocked at the size of these tiny things!. S54 shims are far easier for removal, the s14 shims require a picked and magnet. The good news is almost half needed not adjustment. Plus I was able to check the Vanos gear and Vanos bolts and all were in great shape. Doing all of this sure helped me from worrying about my engine. I feel a great deal of relief. Thanks again Mark!
