Ive set the lash 3-4times now I just use the starter bumper until I see the intake close one more bump and then set it. With plugs in or the starter bump rotates the motor too far.



This isn't the correct way to set valves.
The MP chart works with sold flat tappet and small roller cams.

Without the MP chart;
Set the int just as the exh begins to open.
Set the exh just before the int fully closes.
