    Ok, embarrassed to say this, but I just checked my valves again, and of course they needed adjusting thousands of miles and several years later.

    I actually needed to re-watch the video cause there were some tid-bits that I forgot. :doh:

    Quick tip: Might be beneficial to actually measure the shims - both the ones you have, and the ones you are buying (if you are buying individual shims). At least it was benificial to me, cause I got it right the first time without trying various shims e.g. a pile of 2.4mm shims seemed to vary a bit, although they were all labeled 2.4mm....

    PS: I fixed the video, smugmug support has changed and smugmug videos can no longer be embedded like we did in the early days of CafeHusky... so it is hosted on youtube.

    Just pulled the valve cover on my TE450. Read the procedure from the owner manual and thought I remembered enough from watching the video a couple of weeks ago. Fuel tank really easy, unbolting valve cover easy..........wrestling the rubber gasket from the valve cover....annoying. Only to find just not enough room to get cover off. Re-watch the video to discover it just might be helpful to unwire the de-compress doohickey. Thank you Coffee all these years later.
