FWB: thanks for the chart ! That certainly simplifies the operation!

Jerry: Me too, always tdc until I did this engine (427) with a comp cam and followed the
procedure in their catalog. Had me guessing the whole time if I was doing the correct one at the correct time, still not sure, so I'll do it again using FWB's chart.

I recall someone telling me a while back that the "new" way of doing it related to the modern cam profiles, and that at tdc, the lifter was not necessarily on the "heel" of the cam.

The chart shows setting a cyl at tdc, but not adjusting that cyl's valves, but hopefully the ones on the "heel" with less turning of the crank and without the ambiguity of the " starting to move" or "just before it stops" positioning.
