Should the valves be adjusted cold or hot. and can you do more than one cylinder at a time.

Most specs call for the engine to be hot. As for more then one at a time the way I do vales is spin it over till you have exhaust or intake valves open then adjust the ones that are closed that way you know for sure the opposite valve is closed all the way. I'd give you the spec number for adjustment but I do not have that book in the house right now

Several ways but having them hot is recomended. Just start at the front and go one cycl at a time set at 14thous.

Sounding like a John Deere? That is a wonderful sound. Now to git it painted green.

You can adjust the valves in two stages.

With the #1 cylinder at TDC on the compression stroke, you can adjust valves 1, 2, 3, and 5, counting from the front.

Rotate the crank 360 degrees to put #4 cylinder on TDC on the compresion stroke, and then adjust valves 4, 6, 7 and 8, again counting from the front.
