2-valve measuring & adjusting worksheet

I put a worksheet together based on info culled from the web, manuals, and my own way of adjusting valves on my own and several friend's bikes. It may not be for everybody, and I know there are other worksheets out there. I don't do the "loaded gap" method, as I like to measure the closing shims directly when depressing the closing rockers.

Anyway, here's a link the the excell doc if you want to save a copy:

Shoot. Might have to save it down then reset the print area. I've attached PDF to this post, should be easier to print but you can't edit it.
