Valve adjustment every 6 months
Hey guys, for some reason my car needs a valve adjustment every 6 months or so. After getting a valve adjustment, the engine runs very strong and doesn't bog. But after around 6 months, the car bogs and has a noticeable loss of power, also when I step on the gas, there is a 1-2 second of very weak power and then goes. The engine seems to shake the car more than usual, even on idle.
Could this be a bent valve? anything else?

I'm assuming you've seen this?
In those 6 months, how much do you drive?

oh wow very interesting. definitely going to go with bills specs.
but my issue is that my valve timing starts to get thrown off even 3 months into my new valve adjustment...

mhmm there is for each valve. i made sure they are all tight before i put everything back. and its the same deal even when my friend from evasive did it and from another shop as well. its not even a years time before i have to do another adjustment... im seriously thinking of saving up for a head rebuild...
