Good on you Dan for taking the plunge and doing it yourself. Nothing beats the satisfaction of having intimate knowledge of your machine. There is a video on youtube on valves adjustment and from the memory you can do this without taking the engine out of the frame. However I am not sure if you can take the head off while in the frame. (I am assuming you would need to do it to change the springs, seals etc. as somehow you will need to support the valves from underneath.) Worth finding it. Asto the tools the workshop manual can help. Just check if there any special tools are necessary for it. Good luck and post some pics for us
