I had to replace the head on my B2410, installation is complete and the tractor is more or less put back together. I still need to properly set the clearance/lash on the valves though and have a couple of questions (I've never actually done this before, but seems easy enough).
My understanding is that you want the cylinder on top dead center, which means that i'll need to use the rocker method to determine this point. Let me know if this procedure is correct:
1. Rotate engine by hand until the intake valve and exhaust valve get to overlap (one is closing just as the other is opening).
2. Mark that point on the flywheel or crank pulley for that cylinder (start with Cylinder No. 1)
3. Rotate the engine a full 360 degrees
4. Set valve clearance (.007")
5. Repeat for Cylinder 2 and 3
Am I missing something or does this sum it up correctly?
