mark in mesa here. after having reassembled the top end of my
'80 special i need to adjust the valves. since the entire top end
and valve train was apart how do i determine which side to adjust first
when the timing marks are lined up and both pistons are at tdc? can't go by the manual because all of the valve adjusters are real loose and the book says to adjust the loose ones first. thanks
