I'm curious about this method. Do you start your initial finger tightening
at TDC, or just anywhere? I was told I should find the point at which the
pushrod is on the back of the cam lobe and do my adjustment from there.
Tighten the adjustment bolt down until the pushrod stops spinning and then a
1/2 turn from that point. The issue with this method is that I have to turn
the engine for each rocker, making sure I have it turned to the proper
point. Your way sounds easier, so I'm wondering what the final difference
would be between the two methods.
Thanks again,
Mark
