    1. Remove the tappet cover. (says OHV on it),
    2. use the correct torx driver and wrench , and feeler gauge, I believe .005 on intake,
    And .006 on exhaust. Adjust and secure the locknut when you have the
    Correct fit with the feeler guages.
    3. install a new tappet cover gasket, and install the 4 bolts.
