Somebody should write a book on how to adjust valves the easiest way. Only problem with that is the book would be as thick as the King James dictionary and 90% of the info would be wrong. The key word here is “EASIEST”. In this case, the easiest is also foolproof.

Here is another way to do it.
Turn the engine until #1 exhaust is 20% open, then adjust #3 exhaust.
Turn engine till #8 intake is open 10%, then adjust the #6 exhaust.
Turn engine till #2 exhaust is open 50%, then adjust the fuel pump lobe.
Follow this pattern til all valves are fubar and then stop and have a beer
while you contemplate this joke.
