Hi All,
I have an '84 1.9L water-cooled with Digijet.
Can anyone give me advice of:
a)how to adjust the vales.  The Bentley calls out 2 CW turns after the
adjustment screw touch the valve stem at TDC; however it doesn't say any
thing about if this is for both intake and exhaust as well as if the engine
has to be cold.
b) Statically set the timing: Bentley specs is 5degree ATDC.  With the air
cooled engine that has point and rotor, I used to align the timing mark with
cyl #1 and then slowly rotated the distributor until hearing a click.  The
Digijet ignition doesn't have point, can I still do the same?  If not, can
you give me some advice of how to set the timing with the timing light.
Many thanks!

Coby-meister,
Any comment?
