Valve clearance
Posted: Sat May 30, 2015 1:49 am
Hi,
My son and I have just bought a 1970 1600TL Fastback automatic. This is originally from Australia and originally Signal Orange, now red.
We have a bit to do such as replace both outer sills and some other small rust patches.
First off though we want it to run right. Carb tuning etc to do. Starting with valve clearances, what is the best way to rotate the engine anti-clockwise to do this?. I can't get to the fan to grip it and rotate it. I did notice that the timing hole in the cooling tin is ovaled, could this be by sticking a screwdriver in here and using this to lever the fan round?
