V6 D PORT VALVE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

I weighed up the pros and cons of polishing an aluminium manifold, and decided that painting was the easiest way to achieve a uniform finish.  I think Drewdog did some polishing, so maybe he can chime in with his experience.

Go and get it Aqua blastered (not glass bead blastered).

Valve Clearances - Adjust (From the original Ford Australia 3000GT manual, yellow cover issued 2/70)
To check valve clearances turn the crankshaft until the valves in the first column are fully open, when the valves shown in the second column may be checked and adjusted as required:
Valves Open          Valves to Adjust
1 and 6                       10 Ex and 7 In
8 and 11                      5 Ex and 4 In
2 and 3                        9 In and 12 Ex
7 and 10                      6 In and 1 Ex
4 and 5                       11 In and 8 Ex
9 and 12                       2 In and 3 Ex
To adjust the valve clearance, turn the rocker arm retaining nut in either a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction until the correct clearance has been obtained. Rock the arm to ensure correct seating and recheck the clearance.
Valve clearances are:
V6 Inlet 0.010 in. (0.254 mm.), Exhaust 0.018 in. (0.457 mm.) for Hot engines.
(The same clearance may be used as an initial setting during engine assembly.)
In my Supplementary Workshop Manual for the '73 UK Capri (ALL 'D' Port heads) it states the same Inlet clearance above, but for the Exhaust it states 0.017 in. (0.34 mm.) which is marginally less.
Away you go, Terry

Thanks Guys...................all very helpful..............You should see the Valve Adjustment procedures in my Ford Factory book ! Total brain-melter; half the info was omitted!!!! ..... Little wonder it made no sense. Must have been the "first edition" ? 
dukess600 sent me a PM but try as I may, it refused to work. Here it is for all to see.( Thanks for asking how my
Wild Plum GTV6 is coming along).....................................
Thanks dukess600 for asking !.......................Just this week I have finished Engine and Transmission Overhaul and installed, and back on the road.............purring like a Wild Beast on the "Trade Plate"!.........Body/Paint is still original.
Next plan is to get her RWC so I can Club-Regio her thru my Car Club I'm a member of a club called Mornington Peninsula Historic Vehicle Club,(MPHVC) which meets in South Frankston every month and have outings every 4 to 7 days.
Once the good weather occurs, I must visit your meeting at Tower Hotel in Hawthorn Road, if you welcome visitors.
Kind regards
Bernie
