Can someone confirm the inlet and exhaust valve settings for the tappets on the R 68 motor? Of all the booklets and manuals of BMWs of that era that I own, reference only seems to be made to the settings for the R51/3 and R67. I assume that the settings are the same for all three motors........or are they?

The valve settings are the same, 20 for the exhaust, 15 for the intake. Remember that the R68 and R69 motors are almost exactly the same...except for the location of the serial number.
