		| engines that I have ever worked on get this.... I write down the firing order, split it in half (4 on top of 4 for a V-8) and start with #1 TDC. You only need to watch the oposing cylinder's rockers when they are at TDC on the overlap stroke (ex closing, int opening). Simple, foolproof, and reliable. I dont have to mark the damper and only have two complete revolutions to make. You cant believe how many people get lashing mixed up in the pits, so I write it down on the underside of their hood. I know that some people like the set this and that rule when you turn it over once, but if the cam has long duration and ramps, this can bite you. I run solids if given a choice, but when Hyd are present I like to have the most plunger travel available to avoid pump up. For a race car, I run .001-2 lash on hyd lifters to avoid it totally   |
