  1. Rotate crankshaft until cylinder No. 1 is at TDC of compression stroke. Loosen rocker arm adjusting nut on intake valve of cylinder No. 1 until lash is present. Tighten adjusting nut until lash is removed, then tighten adjusting nut one full turn.
  2. Adjust the remaining specified valves. Refer to the VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT  table. Rotate crankshaft 360 degrees to bring cylinder No. 6 to TDC of compression stroke. Adjust remaining specified valves.
