    I need to know if this is right. I found it on here using search, but after I did it Im 2nd guessing if it is accurate. I have a 93 S83P typical arrangement.

    1. Remove #1 spark plug and coil wire.
    2. Verify TDC by timing marks and piston travel through the compression stroke.
    3. Adjust #1 intake and exhaust, #2 exhaust only, #3 intake only.
    4. Rotate engine 360 deg in proper rotation.
    5. Adjust #2 intake only, #3 exhaust only.
    6. Done.

    This is a short version of what I found, but the steps are the same. Is this correct?

    Okay, I realized why it seemed off to me. I guess when I read directions I need to pay attention to the scale used for measurement. 0.017 and 0.025 mm is WAY smaller than 0.017 and 0.025 INCHES!! haha! My dumb butt set them using those numbers in inches. Readjusted at .007" and .010" for intake and exhaust. NOW it looks and more like it!

    I was looking for the info I had found on here regarding the valve adjustment procedure, and couldn't find it... I didn't want to confirm the procedure you outlined above, but I thought it sounded familiar... Yep, big difference between those measurements!
