The most accurate way is to do one cylinder at a time and not jump around.Start at #1 and do the drivers side and #2 and do the passenger side.As per each cylinder,rotate until the exhaust valve just starts to open and set the intake valve adjustment.Rotate until the intake valve fully opens then starts to close,when it closes aprox.1/2+ set the exhaust adjustment.With an iron block and iron heads set the lash .002 tighter than the recommended hot setting.After warm up recheck at the hot recommended setting.This is assuming your using a solid flat tappet or solid roller tappet camshaft.


I agree with this method. Also, after you set the lash cold, start the engine and bring it up to temp. Then shut it off and check the lash hot. Reset and do the math to get your cold settings.
