Years ago I adjusted 914 valves laying on my back under the car on stands. Now I have a 4-post lift and I can stand up to do the job. Only problem is I can't see how I can get the valve cover off, never mind adjusting valves. The heat exchangers seem to block everything ('70 1.7). A pro once told me he removed the bail by looping a shop towel over it and pulling down. I can't even see how I could get a straight pull down. Is the lift my problem? Do I need to put the car on stands, pull a wheel and lay under the car like in the old days?
