For the setting of the cold clearances after a major overhaul, the actual starting clearance would require the clearing of the half-hot and the normal service checks when the motor is at normal operating temperature. Initial steps involves the of the air cleaner, pulling out the breather hose and unbolting the rocker cover. There are two ways that are used to check and, if necessary, adjust the valve clearances. In the first method, use a ring spanner on the center bolt of the crankshaft pulley to turn the crankshaft until the rocker arm for No 1 cylinder 'just rocks', this means the inlet valve is opening, and the exhaust valve is closing. Position a new set of feeler blades between the face of the No 4 rocker arm screws and the end of the valve stems in such a manner that the feeler blade will only slide in a stiff manner. If not, also unlock the adjuster screw locknut, adjust it until it is right then lock the locknut and do not rotate the adjuster screw. Proceed by rotating the crankshaft and inspects and adjusts the rest of the valves one by one. In the second method, with the assistance of a ring spanner on the crankshaft pulley center bolt, turn the engine until the No 1 piston is at the TDC of the compression stroke more so when both valves of the cylinder are closed. Turn the crankshaft one full turn anticlockwise and if the valves are marked, check the actual clearance on the valve stems. Last, make sure all locknuts are torqued, reinstall the rocker cover and the air cleaner and unset the ring spanner of the crankshaft pulley bolt.

It is essential to check and adjust the jet valves before the intake valves.

Clean carbon deposits from the valve head and stem, apply coarse carborundum paste, and grind the valve head to its seat, then repeat with fine paste until a smooth finish is achieved.
