dont shoot me, its been about 7 years since ive had to set clearances on a gtt, havent got the haines to hand, any one got a pic of the page out of the manual or a quick guide of the way of doing it? and the clearances? just going over a mates gtt that missfires a little especially on cold start up, carbs being rebuilt new dizzy arm and plugs, just want to rule it out. car runs loads better once warm and revs cleanly.

cheers me dears

if its got a bigger cam 20/20 is good but the standard cam is 20/25 iirc matey

i get cyl 1 rocking and adjust cyl 4 in other words the opposite

keep doing opposites until you done all 4 cycles easy

cyl 1 rocking adjust cyl 4
cyl 2 rocking adjust cyl 3
cyl 3 rocking adjust cyl 2
cyl 4 rocking adjust cyl 1

is that clear enough boss

by rocking i mean inlet is coming up and exhaust starts going down on that cylinder

yes boss use the rocking method as it quicker you adjust inlet and exhaust at the same time mate
