"In this we're going to cover adjusting the valve. And this'll be part two of the intake valve. We've already adjusted one side. We're just going to come over and repeat the same procedure. First break your retaining nut free. Then we'll insert our feeler gage. Sometimes it's a little bit difficult the first time in. Once it's slid underneath the cam I'll back it off about a half turn to gives us some good free play and I'll just go counter clockwise until it becomes snug. About 20 degrees further. Then I'll tighten down the locking nut again. Remove my feeler gage. Move the rocker around a little bit and recheck it. Then it's nice a snug, good drag. That'll conclude part two of adjusting the valves, intake side. Please watch our next segment on adjusting the exhaust valves, cylinder number 1 part 1."
