Re: Valve Clearances
Doesn't need engine out, remove tank and radiator[1] and you have plenty of access.
Druid [1] Its an ideal time to change coolant too.

Re: Valve Clearances
It's a simple job, but one you need to do methodically and with some care. If you've got a manual, the correct tools and some common sense it should go smoothly.
One thing to look out for is stripping the threads in the camshaft covers that the head cover screws into. I did this. Twice. I can explain in a bit more detail should you so wish. |
