I do have all the specs for the valve adjustments. I will try to get it out and post it on here soon. It is quite easy. I also have a copy of a service manual that I am willing to sell. Please email me if interested. -Jeff jeepcj_6@yahoo.com

Ok. The instructions read that they have numbered the valves starting at the front to the back 1-12. 2 per cylinder. so 1 and 2 are for the first cylinder, 3 and 4 are for the 2nd and so on. #1: Run engine until warm. #2: Rotate crank to bring #1 cylinder to TDC on compression stroke. #3: Remove valve cover Adjust the following while still hot... In parentheis is the valve in order from front to rear. Ex #1 (1) In #1 (2) In #2 (3) Ex #3 (6) In #4 (8) Ex #5 (9) #4: Rotate crank one turn to that #6 piston is at TDC on compression. Adjust the following valves... Ex #2 (4) In #3 (5) Ex #4 (7) In #5 (10) In #6 (11) Ex #6 (12) Adjustments should be made while engine is hot. After all valves have been adjusted correctly, tighten lock nut firmly to secure the adjustment. Tightening torque: Pivot Lock Nut: 22-28 ft lbs Valve Clearance: Hot: Intake and Exhaust are both 0.38mm or 0.015 inches Hopefully all that helps! Let me know if you need more! This is a great manual! -Jeff jeepcj_6@yahoo.com

I have recently rebuit the engine and have yet to start it. Thoughts on valve adjustment cold? Do I make the lash slightly less than the specification or greater? Thanks.
