Air Cooled Porsche Valve Adjustments: Why They Matter and How Rennstatt at ArborMotion Can Help


Valve Adjustment Porsche Ann Arbor

Valve adjustments are crucial to maintaining your Porsche's engine. Over time, your vehicle’s valve clearance either loosens or tightens, leading to reduced performance and fuel efficiency, as well as potential engine damage. That's why it's important to have your Porsche's valves adjusted regularly by a qualified technician.   

What is a valve adjustment?

Valve adjustments involve checking and adjusting the clearance between the valves and the rocker arms in your engine. This clearance is essential for proper engine operation. If the clearance is too tight, they can damage your valves. If it's too loose, your engine can experience a loss of power and efficiency.   

Why should I have my Porsche's valves adjusted?

Valve adjustments are recommended for all air-cooled models. Regular valve adjustments can do all of the following:

  • Improve engine performance
  • Increase fuel efficiency
  • Reduce engine noise   
  • Prevent engine damage   

How often should I have my Porsche's valves adjusted?

The frequency of valve adjustments depends on several factors, including your driving habits and the age of your car. The typical recommendation is to have your valves adjusted every 10,000 miles.
