Just done a tappets adjustment on and engine i have removed , ill be fitting the engine soon so ill take some photos of this as i go along .
this is a very easy job with engine out or in .
make sure you change the o-rings you might get away with it but more often than not no and oil will leak
especially around the cam sprocket cover and drip onto exhaust causing excess smoke .
change all O-rings
remove camshaft sprocket cover
change this O-ring otherwise this leaks directly onto exhaust
turn engine over anti clockwise with crank nut ( 17mm)
sprocket ( white marks ) i have painted them white but manufacturer markings are easy to see
make sure lower marks are aligned buy viewing in inspection window
then make sure you have free play in both rocker arm
to ensure you are a TDC on compression stroke (valves closed )
check clearance gap is with above specs
adjust where necessary
easy now just check every thing is tightened to specs and turn engine over a couple of times
make sure things go smooth and fit inspection covers changing orings .
