230SL Valve adjustment questions
I am working on a 1966 230SL. I am trying to adjust the valves but I am finding the adjusters seem to be frozen. Am I missing a locking nut or something? I am trying to turn the 14mm wrench size adjuster that is the rocker pivot. Any help appreciated!

Valve adjustment ball pins require a hefty amount of twist to move them...supposed to be that way so they do not change adjustment. You really should use a wrench like this one:

I do have some good "Crows foot" wrenches. I ended up removing some of the rockers to the side and freeing them up with a deep socket and a breaker bar. Thanks..... Chris
