Adjusting the valves on my 1975 1.8 that I just put new pistons in. I’m going through the process as outlined on a few manuals but for some reason it doesn’t feel right? I’ve never done this before so the manuals I have don’t really have good pictures and the videos and such just say go to tdc and adjust. I get to the tdc mark but feel I need to turn it a bit more to get the valves on the number one to fully close. Also when I move on the the other cyclyndsrs after moving the crank 180 degrees, the ones I previously adjusted seem loose. Not sure if thes makes sense. I don’t want to get it back in the car and have it not run.
I’ve seen valve adjustment discussions on this forum before but couldn’t find them doing the search. |

I use the TDC mark on the flywheel to set my valves.
There is the original at 0 deg TDC, and I put a second mark (with paint) at 180 deg. That way I can see the mark(s) from under the car and just turn one wheel to spin the engine. |
