My 1150 valves have never been touched after 18k on the basis that 'if it ain't broke...' but after a little vibration set in a month ago causing my left third metacarpal to go numb, and prompted somewhat by The Mechanic I set about doing my valves. I hadn't done valves since I was a teenager but it all came back to me and 90mins later the beast was fired up again. Went for a blast and boy, what a difference! Just so sweet.
The twin feeler gauge method is a doddle - it helps if the feelers are a little oily, and I used the pencil method of finding TDC - much the same way as I used to 30 years ago.
