They have machined disc of various thickness to determine clearance. I put
over 500K on an 82 pickup and never changed the valve adjustment. I sold
the truck for $1000 and still see it on the road now and then.
I also had a 1978 and 1984 4-door and never touched the valves on those.
Not nearly as many miles on these two.
After about 100kmi (maybe a year after I replaced the timing belt), my
'78 diesel became a little reluctant to start in below freezing weather.
Valve adjustment remedied that.
