Clean Valve Covers
Just finished with the latest valve lash check/adustment. Most were still right where they were from the last time, but I went ahead and re-adjusted all of them anyway. I was amazed at how clean the inside of the valve covers were. Just a very slight grayish film that easily wiped away with a clean rag. I have never cleaned the inside of the covers before. Past valve lash adjustments were at: 30K, 60K, 113K, and now at 190K miles.
I've had the valve covers off from other engines with much less milage (v-6 from s-10, 4-cyl from saab, and o-twin from bmw bike), but none were as clean as these from the Cummins. I guess I'll check them again in 75K to 100K miles.
