By popular request - I had a go at adjusting my 1275cc 4 cylinder A Series Tappets on my MG Midget. There are several ways you can do this:
- Turn the crankshaft
- Turn the fan belt and dynamo
- Jack a wheel up and turn in gear.

OR - Do what I did - push and pull the car! But only after a few other goes!

Its been quite an interesting one this. But i have to say, really rather enjoyable!

Next video will be the competition winner reveal!
Big hugs
