In pondering what to inspect on this car, I had read the Federal underhood decal with the valve lash specs and though, "Mechanical lifters? Valve lash adjustment? This can't be real, the last car I owned with valve lash adjustment was a 1978 Ford Fiesta with the 1.6 L "Kent" engine."
Then I thought, this is a Toyota, not one of those British or Italian sports cars where you had to adjust valve lash with every (frequent) oil change. But the Camry is 18 years old at 160,000 miles, maybe I need to check this.
What are the "stages of taking on auto maintenance" -- first grief, then denial, then bargaining, then . . .
Valve lash. Fantastic suggestion -- I need to look into that.
