I have read several articals about the adjustment and don't have a problem with the proceedure. I have done the same thing on and air cooled Beetle and several motorcycles. My concern is access. I have the car on one ramp with a couple of 2x4s for extrah height. the passanger side is on a jack stand. as best as I can tell all of the access is from the rear over the heat exchangers. Is there any room from the side over the heat exchangers?
I plan on taking my time this being the 1st time on this car. Just looking for any techniques that may help. |

Come in from the side, not the back. Use a 1 ft. + quarter inch screwdriver and a long feeler gauge (actually, 2, one .006", one .008"). Use Gasgacinch on both the cover and the gasket, air dry both surfaces before assembling them.
