Hi Abe, Remove the valve cover and watch the rocker arms as the engine rotates, each valve should move freely.

Rotate engine to No1 firing position
with rotor at No1 plug wire, using a feeler gauge
check valve clearances. They should have clearance of at least .017". This is the hot setting recommended by IH. You should have a clearance greater than this by several thousands on each valve. If No1 valves are ok, rotate the
engine to No3, the rotor should be at No3, check
valve clearances and adjust if necessary, then do
No4 and then No2. Both valves are in the closed
position and you should have clearances.

Make sure you're on the compression stroke on No1 cylinder when starting this procedure. If the clearances are ok, you're probably looking at an engine rebuild. Hal
