Adjusting Tappets

Post by mrbodly »

Hi All

I currently have my engine (2L Aircooled) out of the van for some TLC. I've replaced the pushrod seals and would like to adjust the tappets.

A couple of questions:

As my engine is on a bench in the garage, can they be adjusted with a cold engine? I've read elsewhere the engine needs to be warmed up.

Can I find TDC by removing no 1 spark plug and looking through the hole and watching when the piston reaches it's peak?

Cheers
Myles
