[QUOTE="skos, post: 1405504, member: 101626"] [b]Updated[/b] Prior to disassembly, I have found marking the chain and brightening the case and gear marks with dots of white touch-up paint or White-Out is very helpful for reassembly. If you are simply trying to check valve clearance, throw away those silly directions that run you in circles with marks and degrees. Turn the engine over and check each valve when the camshaft lobe is pointing straight up, 12:00 from the valve (bucket). Of course, you will need to have your alignment marks in order to remove and replace the cams come time for actual adjustment. But to measure and record individual clearances, it is way faster to just turn the crank until that lobe points up, take your measurement, then turn the crank until the next one is pointing up. Avoid turning the crank backward. [/QUOTE]
