Here's part of a message I saved awhile back:

>> For the 1600, the valve lash is 0.017" HOT;  0.021" COLD.
>> I recommend checking everything hot.

>> Anotehr trick is to think of the valves as being numbered
>> 1 through 8.  When you notice one valve fully open (spring
>> comressed, rocker pressing down on it), make a mental note
>> of the valve.

>> Now take 9 and subtract the "fully open valve" number....
>> result is the valve to adjust.

>> So if the #2 rocker is fully open;  9-2 = 7, you are all set
>> to adjust valve #7.

Happy 2002...Robert - 67.5 1600 - Abq
