VALVE ADJUSTMENT

1. Crank the engine until the mark on the torsional
damper lines up with the " O " mark on the timing
tab and the engine in the num ber one firin g
position. This may be determined by placing fingers
on the number one valve as the mark on the damper
comes near the " O " mark on the timing tab. If the
rocker arms are not moving, the engine is in the
number one firing position. If the rocker arms move
as the mark comes up to the timing tab, the engine
is in the number four firing position and should be
turned over one more time to reach the number one
position.
2. With the engine in the number one firing position as
determined above, the following valves may be
adjusted:
— Exhaust: 1, 5, 6 .
— Intake; 1, 2, 3.

" 0 " mark and torsional damper mark are again in
alignment. This is the number four firing position.
The following valves may be adjusted:
