Adjustment with 4000 feeler gauge
adjust top valve when the bottom valve is fully compressed and than with the top valve fully compressed adjust the bottom valve the same way.
very easy But remember to losen the center tork screw before adjusting the rocker arm nut

How do I adjust the valves on a Briggs and Stratton Intek V Twin

Remove the valve covers look up your valve clearance specs turn the engine by hand until the piston is at top dead center then go 1/4 turn past that and then put a feeler gage for the valve clearance you need for that valve and snug up the adjustment nut. Check your oil when your done some oil will spill out when opening the valve cover.

How to adjust the valves on b/s 18hp model 422707

Though the valves are adjustable, in a grinding cutting kind of way- they require the valve be removed from the block to do so. So no actual adjuster. The good news is, this "L head" engine doesn't have the same issues as the OHV family and rarely ever need valve service at all. Are you having difficulty

17HP Briggs Intek engine ran good then quit. Now

Intake and exhaust valves need adjustment. Intake .004, exhaust .012.
look for wear or loose rocker arm bolt before adjusting valves.

Try pulling out the choke a little, if it stops backfiring the mixture is too lean, check the intake
pipes at the cyl head and also the plastic runners to the carb for leaks.
