Since we are on the subject of valve adjustments, I recently adjusted the valves on my '76 300D. It now starts much easier, which I can understand. What I find amazing is that prior to the valve adjustment, It would billow white smoke on cold startup. Since the valve adjustment, no smoke. Could someone explain this to me? What is the principal behind this?
