1)turn crankshaft until dist points at cylinder 1 (trace the plug wire from the passengers side --left as your facing it-- back to the dist.)
2)make sure crankshaft pulley mark is lined up with center of crankcase (the seam where the two halves meet)
3)pop off the valve cover
4)intake: .010, exhaust: .014

spin crankshaft CLOCKWISE 180 degrees. this is 1/2 turn, until the mark on the opposite side of the pulley is lined up with the case seam.



now you adjust valves for cylinder 3, which is FRONT, passenger side.


turn 180



adjust #2 valves (drivers side, front)



turn 180



adjust #4 valves (drivers side, rear)
