See the Delorean Workshop Manual. Valve adjustment procedure starts on p.46. It's in the Engine section, Section 1 on the list of pdf's.

How about a How-To of the example given: how to adjust your headlights?
I will admit that I have not dedicated more than 30 seconds to figure this out on my own, but on my other cars, they are adjustable using one screw for the vertical adjustment, and another screw for the horizontal adjustment.
If there are screws to adjust it without removing the headlight, they seem to be hiding somewhere. I will also admit that when I looked at them, it was dark and the headlights were blinding me. With that in mind, how do you adjust the headlights?

One screw for horizontal and one for vertical. If the screws are hiding, they're (almost) hiding in plain sight on the side and above each bulb housing.
10 seconds in proper lighting and you'll see them. You'll have to nudge the fascia a bit, but it's easy. Also be sure not to start turning the mount screws since they're right next to the adjusting screws.

Request: The window switch mod, to make one switch for up, one for down, for each side.

I'd like to see a how-to (with pics preferably!) on the mod that makes the AC panel lighting only come on when the headlights are turned on. I hear it's fairly simple but I'm a complete moron with electrics.
