    Valve adjustment on bench

    by THE_CHAD » Thu Oct 18, 2018 8:44 am

    What is the proper procedure for setting the valve clearance with the head off the engine?

    Welcome to the site !! \:D/

    You do it the exact same way as on the bike , set the sprocket marks level with the head and the cam lobes facing 2 O-Clock to the rear , and check gap and replace shims if necessary
