valve adjustment

[pklarc]

HELP!!!! Iwant to adjust the valves on my 1983 300d but I loaned my Haynes manual and the borrower is out of town. I know the clearances. What I need is the configuration of valves from front.
any help will be appreciated.

thanks, paul

P.s. I did the search but did not find this.

I don't know it off the top of my head (no pun intended), but you can match the valve with the intake or exhaust runner that feeds it to figure out if it's an intake valve or exhaust valve.

Don't feel bad .....LOL....most have pulled something like that...

It may be a bit difficult to tell by looking. The ports are siamesed except for the very front & rearmost valves.

Pattern for the 5 cylinder (front to rear): E-I-I-E-E-I-I-E-E-I
