Thumbs down Qucik valve adjustment question

Can I adjust the #1 exhaust valve without draining the oil???

My wrench left me haning and I just want it done fast. I also want to accomplish this without a huge mess or having to pay for oil twice.

Jack the drivers side up like a mother and work quick???

comments PLEASE.

Thanks.

You don't need to drain oil at all to adjust the valves.... you'll drip some, but it's a real small amount.

Just jack up the one side.

Let the oil gravitate to the other.

Be safe and use jack stands.

Be careful if you jack up one side only that you don't jack it up too high and your jack stand slides off the t-bar cover.

Just sayin. . . .

I've got one of those trusty pelican jack adapters that fits in the rocker jack hole... that should do the trick. Looks like tomorrow nights project.

Thanks to all.

And after you use that to jack it up, put a jackstand under the torsion bar tube.

Seriously.
