This is counter-clockwise in either case – at the
flywheel or timing gear end.
Adjusting method for two-cylinder engines

– The valves in cylinder 1 (at the fan end) must
be in the overlap position (exhaust valve not
yet closed, inlet valve just starting to open).
– Turn the crankshaft through 180 degrees in the
normal direction of rotation, and check valve
clearances at cylinder 2.
– Turn the crankshaft a further 180 degrees in
the same direction as before, and check the
valve clearances at cylinder 1.
