290cc Valve Lash

[jpjmustang]

I just rebuild the 290cc for the 1992 Club Car I have. I set the valves by the book.

How long do I run it before i re-check and readjust?

Do i need to re-adjust?

Congratulations on the rebuild! As for how long to run the engine before readjusting the valves after, it's generally recommended to run the engine for a break in period of about 120-130 minutes. During this initial run, the engine will start to settle and seat properly, avoid running full open throttle. While some engines require immediate adjustments after the break in period, this one maintains proper valve clearance for a longer period. Factors such as engine usage, operating conditions, and the quality of the rebuild can all influence if adjustments may be necessary.
