funny I used my manual to check the valves just recently on my c70
but I have the actual book, I never looked here at the online site they list
I cant recall off hand the size you need to be but on the left engine cover take the round plate off
then just spin over the engine until the timing marks like up
I had to look through the stator? to see the timing mark
sort of hidden behind another internal cover
that is if you know how to find TDC
I think my intake was off slightly
before I got my e start to work took like 5-8 kicks
once I set the intake maybe 1-2 kicks
but now I just e start anyways now
