When you do check them, the FSM recommends that you check them when the engine is warm, this way you get accurate readings with expansion.
wes, i was trying to get my valves adjusted a while back and had a problem with the local dealership. they kept telling me that the lifters were hydraulic and no need to adjust them... well I talked to Greg at Mossy and he confirmed that they were hydraulic... I have found many places that have said the 95+ GA's were hydraulic. I think it uses the shims for major adjustments...

any ideas? I'd like to know myself (I know everywhere says it's mechanical... but the technicians at Nissan always say it's hydraulic. I just want to know myself what it is for sure.)
