How do you set GU TD42t valves clearances??.

Robo,
your question about each end reading different is probably true but the diff. is so minute you can safely ignore it.
Don't use old worn spanners/sockets as the nuts are totally oiled and the last thing you want to do is slip and cause rounding on the hexes.
Luck,

Yeah I like leaving the skin on my knuckles.
I always loosen the rocker locks first, and not worry about holding the current setting, then I set about adjusting.
some may say hold screw also, but this method suits me just fine.
have dry skin and takes 3x longer to heal up if I skin my knuckles.
also help to use a flat spanner if possible and not offset.

cheers

Well did the job on the week end.
Parked on flat levels concrete surface.
chocked front wheels.
jacked rear end and placed on axle stands.
remove cross pipe and rocker cover.
select 4th gear and rotate rear tyre till tdc compression stroke on cyl1 and start adjusting.
and crank over 360 deg and do the rest.
wasn't hard all cyls were approx. .33 but a little loud so reset to .3mm.
sounding much better now.
And thankyou for the advice.
cheers.
