Valve adjustment question for Jestal

[Constant Mesh]

When you checked/adjusted your valve clearances did you replace any gaskets/O-rings at reassembly?

I'm particularly thinking about the O-rings on the coolant pipes.

Did you rotate the crankshaft with a socket wrench at the right end of the crankshaft or did you use the rear wheel to turn the crankshaft?

I'm going to perform this check next week and any suggestions you can offer would be appreciated.

DEFINITELY replace the coolant pipe o-rings or you'll be ripping it all apart again to fix leaks, trust me.

Socket on the crankshaft so you can see what the cam lobes are doing. You'll never see them from the rear spinning the wheel.

Make note of how all the wiring looms flow around that rubber sheet too. I had some headscratching moments getting it back in place as the how-to pics don't show it.
