Re: Adjusting Model "A" Valves
If you have adjustable lifters, the best method is the "9" method.
Number valves from front to back 1 through 8.
It is fairly easy to determine when a valve is at the top of it's lift. When you have reached that position on #1 valve you adjust the corresponding valve to equal "9". In this case it's #8 valve.
Continue with 2&7, 3&6, 4&5, 5&4, 6&3, 7&2 and finallly 8&1.
If you use different clearances for intake and exhaust, you need to pay attention. I put a piece of masking tape along the bottom of the ports and mark the settings there and cross them off as I finish.
Good Luck
