Newbie question:
How do you actually get access into the valves on my 1.8L? I 've set valves on other cars many times before, but I can't figure out how you get into the (heavily obscured) valve covers! |

I use a stubby screwdriver for the adjusters. I picked up a deep-offset box end wrench for the jam nuts. For some valves, I reach one arm in from the back of the car with my arm along the heat exchanger. For some, I reach one arm in from the front side of the engine. For a few, I reach directly in from the side. I always remove the road-wheel from the side I am working on at the time, for more room to reach in.
