Adjusted the valves using the TDC method with satisfactory results but I find it somewhat difficult and takes too long.
The way I’ve always adjusted valves is with a remote starter button and bumping the starter. When the exhaust open, adjust the intake. Then when the intake fully open and starting to close, adjust the exhaust. EOIC Is either correct? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) If not please explain. |

Cap'n method, both valve covers off, remote starter button. Print out the card so you don't have to think about it.
Easy peasy. |
