For anyone who is about to do the valve check and adjustment themselves, please document this historic moment!

I would be grateful, well as others!

I took some stills, but I can't imagine sitting thru the whole thing in real time.
Even 4x speed would be a couple of hours...

Get an FSM and dig in, it's not hard, just ... involved. : )

get the service manual, it will speed things up a bit for the rotation. Other than that the actual valve check and adjustment is easy. Hardest part is converting from standard to metric.

My big tip: Do it in metric first, that is how they sell the shims.

good luck

It would be extremely time consuming to photo every step, but I hope you find this helpful ?

Any further questions just ask the board, were all here to help n learn : )

I was leading towards the actual valve adjustment and what to look for. Minus the engine rotation, engine disassemble, and engine assemble!
