Checking and adjusting the valve clearances

engine is running. The engine must be stationary but may be
cold or hot.
1. Turn the crankshaft in its normal direction of rotation until the
inlet valve of No. 6 cylinder has just opened and the exhaust
valve of the same cylinder has not yet closed fully. Check the
valve clearances on No. 1 cylinder and adjust as necessary.
