Message: [QUOTE="Jon K., post: 142373, member: 22460"] SFO; apparently I have gotten away with minimal flagellation (is that an intestinal disorder?) and must agree that forked rockers are a challenge. We still see a few on three-wheelers, and yes a feeler gauge is useful. Rotating the engine as described was stolen from a Sig Erson cam book. It works on [B]ALL[/B] engines! Mtngoat; kickstart activated decompression releases shouldn't be a problem (don't turn the engine with the kickstarter!) and the new 450 Honda automatic system (I think) will crack the valve as the piston nears top. I would like to hear some discussion on this, however, as I am behind the curve on automatic decompression systems. No, wait, the Honda uses a completely separate rocker to crack the valve and so shouldn't confuse the adjusting process. That one uses shims anyway! [/QUOTE]
