I assume you are using the Triumph issued tool. Do you have a Service Manual. It has a
picture
of the tool and a note: The tool mounting plate is marked 'IN' &
'EX' denoting which are the inlet and exhaust sides of the tool. Always
ensure that the tool assembly instructions are closely followed to
ensure correct tool operation.
Hold the legs firmly against the mounting plate and tighten the leg to
mounting plate fixings to 7Nm. Turn the engine over until the camshaft
lobes for the valves to be adjusted point directly away from the
valves. As the valves begin to close, the tool legs will prevent the
valves from rising, allowing the shims to be removed using a soft faced
lever and a magnet. (the shim is often a tight fit in the tappet).
Replace new shim, coated with engine oil on both sides. Turn the engine
over until the camshaft fully opens the valves being adjusted. Remove
the tool with the valve fully open. Check the shim has seated correctly
and adjust, if necessary, before proceeding.
Note: The tool is designed to allow adjustment of 2 pairs of valves
without moving the mounting plate. This is achieved by moving the tool
legs to a new location once one pair has been adjusted.
Repeat the procedure until all valves have been adjusted.
You'll need a shim selection chart to make things simple.
Place the tool with the IN pointed to the Intake Valves & EX pointed to the Exhaust valves. Does that help?
