It seems to vary ;
Some of my cars always need a valve ot two adjusted , others once I've set them regularly @ 3,000 mile intervals , seem to find their stride and don't need further adjustment for over 10,000 miles .
FWIW , reading the shop manual reveals it's allowed to check and adjust them whilst hot but you'll need to run them a skosh (technical term there) looser as you already do when hot checking them .

I've gone 40 thousand miles since my last valve adjustment. The last time I checked the adjustment was still good. Has anyone else experienced a not tight situation? Isn't the clearance supposed to shrink after 20k? I usually adjust on the slightly loose side. On my other 240 D's they always tightened up where I couldn't get the feeler gauge in.. Lawrence Rhodes
