Nissan Altima ever need valve adjustments?
I am presenting this for my knowledge and maybe to help other Nissan owners, especially since unaware owners can get fleeced in these hard-sale days. For 1993 Altima with 180k miles, does the valve lash normally need adjustment? (DOHC w/o hydraulic spacers). I asked this at a Nissan service desk and they looked at each other and said they had never done it as routine maintenance; Only if a problem existed (very loud valves). I asked the question due to apparent blow-back when oil filler cap is removed; but seems this is unlikely valve lash caused. And no, I have not done a compressions test. Engine starts and runs great; plugs are perfect, visual look into combustion chambers all clean!
