I don't do it that way ...
What I do is "modified rule of 9"
Say you turn the engine until valve #1 is on full lift, you can then adjust #8. But you will notice that an inlet valve is within a couple of degrees of full lift too. I turn the motor a few degrees more until it is just about full lift, then adjust its mate (rule of 9) at the same time as I do #8. This way I only have to move the motor 4 times, and I'm done. :wink:

oops..

well it was close :lol:

...i knew it was different to the standard rule of 9 when you did it in half the time :wink:

...i'm still confused though

Funny how this thread has just come up now...Morris blew a head gasket today...so I may try the 1-2-3 Skip method this time :wink:

For those interested...between 1 & 2 and no it was not an ACl Gasket

I'm glad you asked...the the one time I will not recomend a Karcraft product is thier head gasket for a 998/1100 Silver head gasket...Prior t this we Did Blow one 3-4 :shock:

so its not just between 1 &2 :!:

I + other believ the it's just not good enought :!:

I will be replacing it with a ACL Head gasket which I believe will lasty considerable longer..the story will or will not...be told...Hayt Kazjim...how is my Old ACl going...Consideriang...you have turbo 998 and was notorias blowing Head gaskets :?:

Have we heared of one lateley....Nope...Karcraft... :idea:

Damn man - I've never heard you complaining about anything before - me though I bitch all the time. I even bitch about me bitching.

But luckily have been using BK450s (1275head) as per Kev's advice and no problems, so no reason to complain but then I could bitch about the lack of an excuse to bitch?

Okay I tried the 123 Skip to 5 method...Yer it does work for a starter....But you will have to adjust from thier with the 9 Method..
