Use the rule of "9" when adjusting the valves. When the #1 valve is fully
depressed adjust #8. When the #4 valve is depressed adjust #5 and so on.
Usually takes me about 20 minutes or so.
The engine runs clockwise and the easiest way to adjust the vlaves is with a
1/2" ratchit and 27mm socket providing you have a 5 main. The 3 mains used a
much larger front bolt.
Before adjusting the valves I would torque the head down when it's stone
cold.
