Aligning the Valves:

Pretty much everyone says to keep these old cars running, change the oil religiously @ 3,000 miles and align the valves once a year/12-15,000 miles.

Project Summary - Align your Valves
Difficulty Scale  
Parts Cost $7
Labor Time  
 

Special tools: 27MM Socket

Spacing & two special wrenches

 

 

I tried to make this guide to help you know which ones are exhaust and intake, and which order they come up, if you are turning the crank click wise.

Here is the PDF version for easy printing.

 

Here is a great picture based guide

More Coming Soon! (As soon as I figure out how to do this or write up what I already have)

If you can provide some good pictures and/or how to DIY, submit!
