I am looking for some advice about the valve timing on my 74 JH. Vin # 16229 with engine # B74 04 6754. I understand the workshop manual p.24 says that for this engine #, the valves should be set at 110IN to 110EX. However, my engine is set at exactly 115IN to 115EX. The engine runs as is, but should I reset and if I do will I cause any permanent damege? Strobe timing is at 12 deg BTDC at 1000 rpm and engine is fitted with 45 Dellortos. Engine was rebuilt (I suspect by a professional shop) in 1985. I haven't a clue how much the vehicle was driven since then. Plugs are set at 25 and engine is fitted with electronic ignition. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Signed, "Confused in Wisconsin"
