gii Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 The manual covers this (and everything else) very comprehensively. Take off the valve covers and the oil fill cap Rotate the crankshaft 'till the T mark on the flywheel lines up with the reference mark in the oil fill hole Check that the engine is on its compression stroke i.e. both rockers are loose, if not, rotate crankshaft through 360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gii Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 It seems you don't understand the difference between thousandths of an inch and hundredths of a millimetre. Since you say you have the manual which I know explains the setting sequence in simple terms and with photographs, I repeat: If you don't understand this, pay someone who does to do it, it'll be cheaper in the long run.
