Series I 2L exhaust valve adjustment

[spudboy]

So - I thought I'd adjust the valves on my 86" today.

Popped off the rocker cover only to discover someone has stolen all of my exhaust valves ;)

I've set all the inlet valves at .010 (they were all a bit loose), but wasn't game to take off the other plate underneath the exhaust manifold to tackle the exhaust valves, as I wasn't sure if I would end up with oil all over the driveway.

If I want to do the exhaust valves, am I looking at a messy job?

Thanks

And another question on setting the valves. The LR manual says set warm, but there is a label affixed to the rocker cover that says set cold. Which is correct?

Removal of the side cover to adjust the exhaust valves should only result in a few drops of oil spilling at most. I can't remember the details (hot/cold) for that engien, and have no references with me.

OK - thanks. Just making sure I wasn't going to get a litre of oil out or whatever.

I think I will go with the manual's suggestion of warm and see how far out they are.
