Hi All-

I'm looking to get a 4-post lift to store my '73 2.0 over another vehicle. I get the trade-offs between 2- and 4-post lifts, and have pretty much decided on a 4-post for a bunch of reasons that I won't bore you with here.

I've figured out ways to do all of the maintenance tasks I need on a 4-post, except possibly adjusting the valves. How hard is it to adjust 914 valves on a 4-post lift? Is there enough room to maneuver around the tracks and get to everything? The lifts that I'm looking at have about 37" clearance between the tracks.

My car is in the shop at the moment and torn apart for an engine rebuild, so I can't really crawl under with a tape and see for myself. (My prior DIY leak fix escalated to a complete rebuild that was beyond my abilities.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
