Cam Swap Valve Setting Question
I’m doing a cam swap and getting ready to set my valves. Can you please confirm the method below is good.
Install timing chain with the dot on the cam sprocket at 6:00 and the dot on the crank sprocket at 12:00.
Turn engine one complete revolution.
Adjust exhaust valves 1,3,4,8 and intake valves 1,2,5,7.
Rotate the engine one complete revolution.
Adjust exhaust valves 2,5,6,7 and intake valves 3,4,6,8 to zero lash and one full turn after.
Install timing chain with the dot on the cam sprocket at 6:00 and the dot on the crank sprocket at 12:00.
Turn engine one complete revolution.
Adjust exhaust valves 1,3,4,8 and intake valves 1,2,5,7.
Rotate the engine one complete revolution.

your timing gear phasing is correct....as far as your adjusting method, i am familiar of your approach but i do not use it....i prefer one at a time so i can watch the valve action but if you are sure of this method, it is certainly your choice (engine)..why the hurry?.....

Is the No. 1 cylinder at TDC compression after installing the timing chain with the dot on the cam sprocket at 6:00 and the dot on the crank sprocket at 12:00.
Then turning the engine one complete revolution?
