Valve Clearance hurdles
Hi,
I'm trying to work out how to adjust my valve clearances (3aj) but I'm falling at the first hurdle. The manual is talking about removing the little plastic circle on the left hand side engine cover with a screw driver so you can turn the engine to TDC with a 19mm socket. Is there a technique for doing this, because I just keep slipping out of the screw slot damaging it. Cheers, Taco

The screw driver is not the best for removing this plug. Its best to make up a tool from a peice of flat metal stock same width as slot, rounded on a grinder to fit. Use a adjustable wrench to turn while pressing the tool into the slot. A large flat washer will also do the job with a little work on the grinder.

turning the screw
HI, I have always used two large flat blade screwdrivers crossed. If that makes sense. and make sure you give it a good few taps with a small hammer before you try.
