Ok so i just read a post that says when adjusting valves you can do a trick and do the following.

With #1 at TDC, adjust both intake and exhaust on 1, intake on 2, exhaust on 3.

Adjust to #4 at TDC, adjust both intake and exhaust on 4, intake on 3, exhaust on 2.

Will this work? I always thought you had to do 1# cylinder, rotate 90 degrees and #2 and so on??

 

anyone?

 

I always just start at number one and turn the engine over till they are loose. Its pretty easy to tell. You can check with a screwdriver down the sparkplug hole to see that its tdc

 

That trick (or something like it, I don't remember the order) is right, but I never used it. It takes a whopping 20 minutes to adjust valves the normal way, and the chance of forgetting which ones you've adjusted and which ones you haven't is greater.

 

Adjust the intakes as the exhausts starts to open.Adjust the exhausts after the intakes reach full lift and start to close.

That trick would probably only save me about 60 seconds on a valve adjustment job.

 

how did it go?

 

didn't get to it yet, had to order cam cap bolts....
