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. |

I find that you have to do it a few times to figure out the best way to lay down to get to each set of valves. I also use an old foam camping ground pad so I do not have to get the car too high. It always is a sucky job, but gets better with experience.
