iagree This way for me too.

Putting both valves closed on compression doesn't give you the deflection in the valvetrain. I've compared the two methods on solid roller and flat tappets. In fact. I have a tight lash Racer Brown solid roller in a 470 going together now. Trick flow 270 heads on a iron 400 block. Doing EO/IC for .007 intake and .009 exhaust. Gives me about .001 or .003 lash on TDC
