2V Norge valve adjustment

<< < (5/5)

bratman2:
The WIHA ball end sockets are what I use also. Seems like last time I removed nothing to access the upper machine screws.

molly:
Another tip is when you have removed the covers and  got the piston at TDC make sure there is already some kind of gap with a smaller feeler gauge i.e. 0.05mm. If there isn't chances are you are on the wrong stroke. Rotate the crank to the next TDC and recheck. Only then undo the locknuts on the tappets.
Use a long flat bladed screwdriver in the spark plug hole to find TDC nothing that can break or fall down the hole which includes chop sticks :)

Larry_77084:
I can understand your caution Molly but I doubt you've checked as many valves as I have and I've never had a break with a bamboo chopstick.  Break one in half, you won't break through all of the fibers.  That was taught to me by a car mechanic with more years in the business than I care to count.
