The open valve degree of openness is not critical. When it looks like
itâ??s starting to close that works. When doing this using the starter to
turn over the engine Iâ??ll have spots where two valves are largely open, I
adjust both opposing valves then.
You are correct in the math piece - 1 (open) plus 8 (adjust) = 9.
