Hey guys i had a quick question regarding the valvle train of the M50. I was wondering when would be a good time to get them adjusted or what kind of intervals you hold to. The engine runs awesome, I bought the car from the original owner, but I want to keep the maintenance up on it too. Any info is much appreciated as always!!!

M50 has hydraulic, self adjusting valves. Do an oil change, and let the car idle for 15 minutes (iirc), the car will automatically readjust the valves back within spec.
