[Healeys] Sequence for setting BN1 valve rockers

[Peter & Veronica]

.....I got this from an MG manual - I think the way it's put is misleading. 
eg when no 8 is fully open (ie the rocker has the valve fully down) you 
adjust no 1 which is fully closed (ie the rocker is loose or "rocking"

Hi Peter

thanks for that, I'll print and glue into my workshop manual! Judging by
the digest responses, seems I'm the only Healey owner who didn't know
the '9' rule for setting 4 cyl tappets
