You picked a car with a small engine (for its time anyway). I don't think a 64.5 mustang was ever considered a fast car.

The engines I've seen with hydraulic lifters do not have anything to adjust.

Unless you're talking about cleaning out the oil ports when they start to stick, but I wouldn't call that an adjustment.

Could you give an example? I'm curious

I wouldn't say the computer adjusts the valves, variable valve timing serves a completely different function than an old fashioned valve adjustment.

It's true that most lifters are hydraulic nowadays, and self-adjust by filling with oil. So your point still stands, it's just mechanical, not computer controlled.

My 2017 Honda V6 does require valve adjustments, but I doubt many people actually do it themselves though. And most people probably don't have it done at all.

Aren't cigarettes like $15 a pack there? That probably has something to do with it.

 

Is this happening to anyone else? I try to load comments, then I have to scroll back up and try to figure out where the new ones start.
