This summer's project: doing a desmo valve adjust. Not nearly as difficult as I psyched myself up into believing. The main problem is I insisted on upgrading to aftermarket valve retainers (MBP collets). They are a bitch to work with. Though because of this nightmare, I have become quite adept at working in tiny spaces with tweezers, and am confident that a valve adjust with OE collets would be child's play.
Aren't these the cutest little cams you've ever seen?
Ended up spending more than anticipated on tools & hardware... a midlife crisis of sorts. Fuel filter has been done, cooling system half done. Still need to do brakes, oil, reset TPS. I would prefer to have done oil prior to the valves, but certain circumstances prevented that from happening.
