Does anyone know or have a picture of the valves and their corresponding numbers ? Cant find it in RAVE.
Attempting to adjust the valve clearances and need a point to start !

I'm fairly sure it's 1 to 8, front to back.

frount to back of block

when _ is open adjust _

8 1
6 3
4 5
7 2
1 8
3 6
5 4
2 7

think it is a rule of 9. ie. take the valve number that is open away from 9 and adjust that tappet

uur. the engine is horizontally apposed so the valve numbers run simply 1-8. 1 being next to the rad and 8 is next to the bulkhead.

hope that helps?

ow and sounds like you need a workshop manual. you can find them to download online.

i had problems with a copper gaskit so i was given a compo it fixed it straight away

so i used one to start with on this build , save any problems later on / pits or distortion in the head or block , should allow for them ,
