Re: Valve Adjustment!!
Perhaps they should have entitled it, "step by step guide", it's a pig of a job.
The using the wheel to turn the engine step is about the only thin you can do to make it easier.
You will spend a dirty hour or two under your car. Do it quick before it gets to cold!

Re: Valve Adjustment!!
Thankfully caught up with Andrew. He had already done the valves and timing. I will recheck and look for vacuum leaks.
