It is time for the next installment in my Indiana barn-find 914 and it is time to adjust the valves! I want to just check the valve adjustments before attempting to start it up for the first time in 6-7 years. I am not sure what all the p/o did to it, he had mismatched plugs in there so I don't quite trust his judgment. Does anyone on here have any tip/tricks for valve adjustment? I've done some research and spoken to a local air-cooled expert so I know I will need the following
19mm / 21mm wrench 13mm wrench Medium sized flat bladed screwdriver. feeler gauge 2 new valve cover gaskets Next time, I will hopefully have access to a lift to do the oil change work and drain that extremely antique fuel! |

QUOTE(Rand @ Jul 17 2020, 08:12 PM)  And btw, a dime is more useful than a screwdriver to turn the adjuster screws in tight quarters... err dimes. |
