OK got the Pelican Valve Adj Made Easy
Got in 5th - driver side wheel in the air -- have rotor at notch. Found Paint on flywheel and notch in housing so I am close to TDC of cyl 1. I can not bend enough to see anything on the flywheel standing from the wheel behind the drivers wheel looking in the hole. Now Pelican says in Figure 11 there is a small opening you can see from under the car near the top of the transmission (? front of the engine bar I assume - found all the tin but no opening. -- you can feel it with your finger ???? (not) Now I assume you pull the covers off with both wheels on? and Pelican says you need to mark the bottom of the flywheel in the gap I can not find. Is this hole on the Oil filer side? Stuck! |

The Cap'n has the superior method. It's actually not that bad, start with the easier set of valves (the most accessible). Make sure you have a stubby spade style screw driver, with a box end wrench (13mm I think). Be sure that your jack stand locks, and you keep your hydraulic jack positioned underneath as a back up. There has been a wrath of jack stand failures recently. It's just peace of mind having a back up, just in case. Best of luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)
