Ouestion about valve adjustment
I'll be doing my first valve inspection/adjustment tomorrow and while I was reading the tutorial, when it got to the part about turning the crankshaft to align the alternator scribe line it didn't mention whether to turn it clockwise or counter clockwise. Does it matter which way to turn it?

Clockwise (so there is no chance of loosening the nut):tup:

If this is what you are referring to...... It's counter clockwise for me....that's the direction the engine turns when running, and it keeps the timing chain taut. jb |
Yes, it does matter. What engine do you have? Without knowing that, we can't really offer accurate advice.

Thanks for the replies Huck 369, franque, and jbfla but I've got bigger problems now. While removing the bolts for the exh. valve cover I rounded off one of the heads. Naturally it was the last one and the toughest to get to. Now I have to figure out how to get it out. It's the lower bolt on the left side (when sitting on the bike). Any suggestions?
BTW, I do have an RX3. |

every engine ever produced goes clockwise and anticlockwise at the same time. it depends what side or end you are looking from (like left hand side or right hand side its bother by nature but depends on where you stand etc) |
