I've only done one valve adjustment on my /6, and that was under the watchful eye of Wes Hildreth.
The valves are a bit noisy when cold. I've checked the archives and have an old copy of the PP tech article for the 911. Tricks or helpful tips, anyone? -Rusty |

Most of my "tricks" concern finding TDC of each cylinder. One can mark the front pully with each cyl that comes to TDC at each 120deg mark. AIR, 1 and 4 are at the Z1 mark, but 360 deg apart. Twice around and you've covered them all.
To turn the motor, block one wheel so it won't turn, put it in gear, and turn the other wheel. One can go fwd and backwards to get it right on. I don't even take out the plugs....unless I'm gonna replace em". I always have a .005 feeler gauge as a "no go". I've got it down to a 4-5 hour job. |
