5,000 miles, so I changed motor oil and filter, took out the top spark plugs,
Adjusted the valves, and changed the FD fluid again.
FD fluid looked good. First time looked terrible, but it did on my last new one.
I called MAX BMW for info, .2 to.3 mm for intake and exhaust. David was great. He even called me back on what the transmission holds. 1150 ml.
I used a Zip tie to find TDC. Both cylinders would take a.305mm or .012" on all valves. I don't think anything bigger would have fit. I did not try.
I used a .209 mm or .008" feeler gauge. I used a .229 mm or .009" as a no go gauge.
It was quieter after it picked up oil pressure. I did patiently fill the filter with new oil before I put it on.
