I recently had my 4A in to have some wheel work done with a local mechanic, and had him adjust the
valves while it was there. Since I got it back it smokes on start, like the valve guides are bad. Coincidence , or could valves out of adjustment cause this? My car has a sport cam and my mech said he adjusted intake valves to .010 and exhaust to .012 to compensate for cam lift. The head has approx 10000 miles since rebuild. Am I looking at another valve job or just adjustment? Thanks for any advice.
