Im halfway through doing this myself on my 1199. Does anyone care to have me do a step by step video when I adjust my horizontal cylinder? I will be starting on it next week.

It will go over these steps:
*)Tools needed
1)Check valve clearances at rest position
2)Setting the Piston at TDC
3)Removing Crankshafts
4)Removing and measuring opening shims
5)Removing and measuring closing shims
6)Doing the math
7)Installing new shims
8)Assembly
 
Oh man that would be awesome and greatly appreciated by many members here in sure!

I doubt your valves will be out of spec, but very interested to see the video. I'm a couple years away from the main service but still.
 
That would definitely be awesome. I'd like to do the adjustment myself, but haven't been able to find a video for the superquaddro motor.
 
Great idea, one thing I wish more video's did was explicitly say/show what NOT TO DO... ever and why, in my experience people "see" a shortcut when it's not one and screw up something... just a thought
 
Nice job! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge.
