I know how to adjust valve lash on an FE...check the intake when the exhaust starts to open and the exhaust when the intake starts to close. But I just saw in Steve Christ's book on FEs that he says you only need to check with the crank in two positions: #1 at TDC/compression (check 1 I+E, 3I, 4E, 5E, 7I, 8 I+E) and #6 at TDC/compression (2 I+E, 3E, 4I, 5I, 6 I+E, 7E). Of course this is a lot easier than rotating the crank several times, but I haven't heard of anyone doing it this way before. Has anyone done it this way, and is it ok?
