While awaiting my governor back, decided to check the valve clearance. Not having a crank, I'm using a bar on the ring gear to turn the engine. Lined-up the #1 TDC mark no problem, (the marks on the camshaft gear were by the distributor) and had to tighten up the exhaust valve. Turned the flywheel 180 degrees clockwise, (looking at the flywheel from the rear). The firing order is 1-3-4-2. There is no 180-degree mark on the flywheel so I counted 45 teeth on a 90 tooth ring gear. There is not a nanometer of play in either valve at #3 cylinder.
What I'm asking is: am I right, that the flywheel turns clockwise, looking from the rear? Also, the manual calls for .014 clearance "with the engine at operating temperature". I've never had any vehicle that didn't want the valves checked 'cold'. Can/should there be some compensation for my engine as I'm doing it now? Heck, I have it all wide open.
