So new to me '88 Carrera Cabriolet. I have been researching the valve adjustment process and am thinking it will be one of my winter projects with the car. The car has less than 35,000 miles and very complete service records but from what I can see, the valves may have never been adjusted or it was not recorded. I feel pretty good about my ability to do it, I own air cooled BMW motorcycles so I am fairly familiar but I can see this is a much higher level of complexity.

My question is, does the A/C compressor have to be removed or can this be done with it in place. I read one overview that said to unbolt it and tie it in place, out of the way. Can someone better describe this?

Any other recommendations that I should study up on?

Thanks

Jeff
