I've used many different ways to start setting the valve lash including the Mopar decal, (original Chevy method) and setting them at TDC on the firing stroke as well as setting the intake valve when the exhaust valve started to open and set the exhaust valve when the intake closes and finally the latest way of setting the exhaust valve when the intake valve starts to close after max intake valve lift.
I've thought about this method more than once and decided yesterday to go back to setting the intake lash when the exhaust valve barely starts to open and now set the exhaust lash when the intake valve closes all the way and maybe a little more crank travel. My main reason for switching is with todays valve spring pressures I don't want any of that pressure pushing the lifter against the cam making it bend a little
What say you? Please give your reasons on your choice so maybe we can help all of us on here
