Mike Here is is the easy way to assure you are getting the valves adjusted correctly::::(this trick works for every four cycle engine with any number of cylinders. It also positions the valves at known positions that are on the base circle of the cam, and not in an unknown position.
They are arranged From front to back: #1Exhaust, Intake,-----#2Intake, Exhaust,----- #3Exhaust, Intake,----- #4Intake, Exhaust.
Make a chart of the valves EI-IE-EI-IE on paper to take with to the engine.
When the exhaust valve just begins to open, adjust the intake on that cylinder. When the intake just closes, adjust the exhaust on that cylinder.
Make sure you treat one cylinder at a time (lay rags over the other valves on the other cylinder's so there is no error)
I think they are set at .020" cold.
Crank it by hand with the plugs out, it makes it easy.
Before starting, do the oilcan trick I described in the last post. and do not oil the valves, they are fine!!! JimN
