    hey guys

        You might want to read it out of another manual.

        You might want to get hold of another manual to be sure of all the specifics.

        cold engine.
        With 19mm wrench turn the crankshaft till the Exhaust lobes of cylinder 1 and 2 are facing up or toward the outside of the engine.
        Check the clearance to within .03 to .08 mm.
        Turn the crankshaft 180 deg. untill the intake lobes of 1 and 2 face up or out.
        check them.
        Turn 180 deg. and check the exhaust of 3 and 4.
        Turn 180 deg. and check the intake of 3 and 4.

        If you need to replace any shims along the way.....
        turn the bucket with your finger till the notch faces the inside of the motor.
        Depress the bucket... not the shim with a tappet depressor.
        Remove the shim with a small screw driver and forceps.
        Replace the shim with the corect size that will bring the gap within specs.
        Shims should be slightly oiled and have the #s facing down.
        After you get them all done rotate the crank to sqeeze out the exess oil and recheck them all.

        If you need any 2.80's I got seven and will do even exchange for them.
