Valve Adjustment
Hey guys, I just purchased the tools and the gasket to adjust the valves. This will be the first time I have done anything like this and was wandering what other tools I may need or advice that will help me in attempting to do this project myself. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, jason

If you don't have the feeler gauges:
http://www.mytoolstore.com/kd/kdfeel01.html Also, print out a diagram so you can mark off the valves as you go... Last edited by 1983/300CD; 03-07-2006 at 09:55 PM.

To keep track of which valves you've done make a simple drawing showing which are exhaust and intake (circles in groups of 2) and when you turn the eng (I use the power steering pump bolt, c/w only) you can do which ever valves are available and mark them on your diagram as done.
