Default RE: Valve adjustment DIY

Now rotate the crankshaft 1 revolution and put the mark back on top. You are now ready to adjust the intake valves on # 3, 5, & 6 and the exhaust valves on # 2, 4, & 6.
Once you are done checking/adjusting the valves, double check that all of the jamb nuts are torqued to 18 ft lbs.
Put the cover back on and tighen down the 6 bolts evenly. If you tighten them unevenly, you may inadverntantly crack the cover. Torque the bolts to 18 ft lbs.

Reconnect the breather hoses and put the top cover back on. Torque the 4 bolts to 18 ft lbs and make sure to put the wire harness support under the aft drivers side bolt.

Put the oil cap back on and you shouldn't have to touch your valves for another 100K miles.
