Method Two: Adjust All Valves Using Two Crankshaft Positions

Method Two: Adjust All Valves Using Two Crankshaft Positions - EuroV MBE900

Method two allows you to adjust all the valves using just two crankshaft positions.‪

  1. Using the cranking device, turn the crankshaft until cylinder #1 is at the ignition TDC position (all valves are closed) and cylinder #6 (cylinder #4 on the four-cylinder engine) is at the valve overlap position (all valves are open).
  2. Check the valves listed in Table "Valve Adjustment - Method Two" in the "Ignition TDC" row and adjust them (if necessary), using the procedures under the headings "Checking Valve Lash" and "Adjusting Valve Lash."
  3. Using the cranking device, turn the crankshaft until cylinder #6 (cylinder #4 on the four-cylinder engine) is at the ignition TDC position (all valves are closed) and cylinder #1 is at the valve overlap position (valves are open).
  4. Using the same procedure, check the valves in the "Valve Overlap" row and adjust them (if necessary), using the procedures under the headings "Checking Valve Lash" and "Adjusting Valve Lash."
