Some of you may have read my earlier thread where I described the engine would not restart..
Well I checked out the wiring harnesses at the brain end and everything checked out.
I have ordered a new CHT and have replaced the rotor and cap this is just to see if it gets it going as I have not found the problem
Anyway I decided to check the valve clearance after reading the appropriate literature I hoisted the car only to be once again totally pissed by the design of this car.
Question
Is it possible to remove the valve covers and adjust the valves with the heat exchangers in place?

I am starting to regret that I bought this car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) moral support and possibly some therapy will be require (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
