Valve Lash (again)
How do you guys lash your valves? Can it be done the old fashion by bringing number one piston to TDC, checking the eight valves that are closed, then rotate the engine one turn and check the remaining eight valves that are closed?
Or do you do one cylinder at a time when both valves are closed(must rotate the engine eight times).
I understand the second method is the most accurate, but will the first method work with a big cam? (260 degrees duration @ .050). It is much simpler.
