GQ/Mav car manual problem from the bible

just wanna let you all know the patrol manual that you can download from the GQ bible has some misleading points in it. In the TD42 section on valve clearances. it tells you which valves to adjust. the book is actually wrong. it says wen number one piston is on TDC, valves 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 10 should be adjusted. it should actually be 3, 6, 7, 10, 11 and 12. then turn the crank a full 360 degrees and adjust 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, and 9. i found this out the hard way!!! im not sure about the other models though. there's probly some other bits in the book that are wrong so if you are gunna use this manual i'd be double checking anything to do with the engine.
just thought i'd let you know so you don't have to go through the trouble i did
