  4. Turn adjusting screw clockwise an additional 2 turns, and tighten lock nut. Repeat procedure for exhaust valve.
  5. Rotate crankshaft counterclockwise 180 degrees.
  6. Adjust valve clearance of cylinder No. 4 as described in step 2). Use same procedure to adjust cylinders No. 3 and 2, respectively, rotating crankshaft 180 degrees between adjustment of each cylinder.
