Here's a tip I got from the list awhile back...Robert - 67.5 1600 - Abq
One trick to know WHAT valve to adjust....
make a list 1 though 8.
Now look at the engine to figure out which VALVE is
open (valve spring compressed, and pushrod pushing
the rocker is up). Starting with #1 at the front,
and #8 at the back... count to the valve.
Take the count, and subtract that number from nine.
So if valve #7 is all the way open (spring comressed):
9-7 = 2.
Adjust valve #2.

List,
A question on the cold valve adjustment- Is it 0.20 or 0.21, and on a
1600 can you adjust the intake and exhaust of the cylinder the dist
rotor is pointing to together? Also I am still confused about being sure
that valves are fully open or closed-Is that when the pushrods are fully
up, the rockers are down and springs are compressed? So at TDC,
compression stroke, #1, are #1 valves adjusted or not? Someone mentioned
the 9 rule, or something like that, is that the only way?
Second question on plugs. What is the exact size for the intake plugs
so I know what to ask for. I know about the injector plugs in the head
already, they have not been done yet.
Questions form A to Z...
