I’ve done plenty of 356 valve adjustments…. Now it’s time for the 914-6. I got a set of the feeler gauges and I’m gonna dive into it. Any pointers would be appreciated also what are the correct specs. I will be replacing the valve cover gaskets once I’m finished as well.

Thanks

Which lower valve covers do you have? Turbo ones? If so have they been milled? If not you will need to drop the engine a little.

Do you have the curved valve tool p214 or something? If not do you have angled feeler gauge? You will need the tool or angled OR the z block and a dial gauge.

.1 mm or .004" is what they are set to.

Since it's a bit of a pain to see the pulley, might be easiest to look at the cam for backside adjustment method.
