Hi, I have a 1988 Mercruiser 5.7 260 Alpha 1, and was going to follow the shop manual with the valve adjustment. I removed the spark plugs and have rotated the engine by hand to the #1 cylinder TDC. This is where I paused, because the Mercruiser manual discusses adjusting certain intake and exhaust valves on both heads. I pulled the valve cover off the port head (for cylinders 1, 3, 5, 7) and for the life of me, I can't tell which valves are the intake and which ones are the exhaust (looking at them from the top).
Advice?
