Re: bets way to set litfers after replacing cam
i seen your other post, You set the exhaust valve when the intake valve opens and has about half closed and the intake valve as the exhaust starts to open. What this does is insure that the valve is on the back side of the lobe opposite the ramp.If you set the valves properly one cylinder at a time you can go 1/4-1/4 turn past zero lash and you are set from now on.
