Template for valve adjustment

I think tomorrow I am going to be able to do a valve adjustment on Smash. Last time I did one on my wagon I had a diagram printed out from here where I could mark what the clearances were before the adjustment, and I was also able to label them intake/exhaust and make sure I got it right. Easy to follow a picture!
Does anybody have a decent sized pic of the valve adjustment sequence that I can print out, or can you find a link to a pic here on the forum. I couldn't find the one I used last time.....

**fyi, I know the sequence, I'm just looking for a printable pic**

I think you'll find what your look for at www.dieselgiant.com check under maintenance. Good Luck

I just copied a diagram out of the engine manual and used that.

You check the clearance before adjustment?!

*cough-obsessive*

Off to adjust the valves on the "sporty 240"

Cylinder 6 is missing!!! Oh, yeah, that's right, Coda has a 603 in her and doesn't need valve adjustments. I guess I have to go back and pack the garage, now. So much for a break.

Good Luck, Jimmy, with the valve adjustment. I need a wagon in my life.

That is exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks so much!!

BTW, it printed out perfectly, just configured my printer to "fit to page" and it printed me out a full page print. I then scanned that so that I would have a spare on that laptop.
