Just read the Pelican artical on valve adjusting. Seems like a lot of work with the ramps and then jacking. How about using a remote starter? Seems like it would be a lot easier. Or do they overshoot? I saw a remote starter from my flaps for $12. Eddy

Actually, I use a remote starter button every valve adjustment. I pull both valve covers, and watch the front exhaust valve on the driver's side. When it is open, I adjust the front exhaust valve on the passenger's side. I repeat this process for all the valves.

And you can blip a remote starter button to bump an engine over. Plus the key is NOT on so the car can't start.
