John,
On the 1600 all the gaps are the same, but not so on the 2000
as you have noticed.
On the 2000 when the cam lobe it pointing towards the sky is
when you should adjust that valve.
If you look at the intake manifold you can see which valves
are associated with the intake valves.
#1 valve is towards the front of the engine, #8 to the rear.
>>From the front:
1E 1I 2I 2E 3E 3I 4I 4E
E=exhaust
I=intake
Usually I like to leave the car in fourth gear, with the handbrake
off. Then I "bump" the front bumper with my leg to push the car
back and forth while adjusting the valves. Easiest way to move
the car back and forth for me.
While there are "remote starter" devices, the starter is just
too hard to get to on a HOT engine. So I leave that tool in
my tool box.
Cheers,
Tom
