Can anyone give me step by step instructions for adjusting valves on a 650 Sand Spider? 25 years ago I adjusted the valves on my toyota , but have not done it since then. I need a refresher course if anyone can help. I need the clearences and what to do to get the engine to TDC.
Thanks,
Clint
pull the spark plugs pull the valve cover. The no. 1 cylinder is the one closest to the altanator. Turn the engine over clockwise use a socket on crank pulley. As your turning the engine over watch for the intake valve to depress then look down at the timing pulley when you come up on the first big line where it says 0 you are at tdc. I then turn the engine on the intake valve until im on the back side of the cam lobe. the manual says 5 thou. i find 6 or even 7thou works better. Repeat the process on all rocker arms , double check all adj. Put it back together your ready to rip. _________________ joyner 650 sandspider,weber carb,headers, pertronix, msd ignition
