I have read several articals about the adjustment and don't have a problem with the proceedure. I have done the same thing on and air cooled Beetle and several motorcycles. My concern is access. I have the car on one ramp with a couple of 2x4s for extrah height. the passanger side is on a jack stand. as best as I can tell all of the access is from the rear over the heat exchangers. Is there any room from the side over the heat exchangers?
I plan on taking my time this being the 1st time on this car. Just looking for any techniques that may help. |

I noticed from your signature line you have a '76....
....the heat exchangers are somewhat different from my '73 to your '76, but not sure it would hinder your access to adjust the valves. There is enough room there to do the job. Not an excessive amount, but enough. just get comfortable and go for it. |
