    I set the valves on my engine today using this method and discovered a couple valves needed adjusting quite a lot! Turns out 2 inlet valves were actually open when the should have been in the closed position!
    Thanks for posting this, and the YouTube video was a massive help by the way.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
