[QUOTE="gagvanman, post: 631199, member: 17411"] Loads of info on the old interweb on how to do this, but basically find top dead centre of no 1 piston by either removing the spark plug and putting a screwdriver or something similar in the hole and rotate the engine with a spanner on the alt/gen or crank nut. Or remove the dizzy cap and rotate the engine until the rotor arm points to no 1 cyl. At this point make a mark on the crank pully for TDC if there isn't one already. Remove the cyl head rocker box, the rockers for no 1 cyl should be able to move slightly. Check the valve to rocker clearance and set to 0.006". Next rotate the crank anti clockwise 180 deg then check cyl 2 valve rockers, then rotate the crank another 180 deg anti clockwise for cyl 3 and again 180 deg for cyl 4. [/QUOTE]
