[Vwdiesel] A Question About Terminology and Procedure Order

[Bryan K. Walton]

Hi everybody,
	I've got a quick question about some terminology as it
pertains to our VW diesels:

1. When one checks/adjusts the "valve lash", is that the same thing as
"checking and/or adjusting the valves"?

2. Should valve timing be checked/adjusted before doing a valve
adjustment?  How about before checking/adjusting IP timing?  (In other
words, could the valve timing being out of spec affect valve
clearances and/or IP timing?)

Thanks,
Bryan
