General Engine Question

[Bill Pritchard]

Thank you for the input, gents.

Mitch,

The car is a manual trans and I plan on having it in gear and the parking brake engaged, so don't think crank movement is going to be an issue.

Mark,

It's a hydraulic cam. If I had a timing tape on the balancer, it would be easier to go in 90 degree increments, but I don't have that, so it would be a bit more difficult. I might just consider that, though...thanks for the suggestion. I intend to measure from the top of each rocker arm stud to the top of the corresponding adjustment nut using a dial vernier caliper prior to removing the rocker arm so I can run the adjusting nut back to exactly the same place when it goes back together. Should be no valve lash issues that way.
