Not sure what you mean. But if you look at that chart, it is in the firing order. Just "offset" to make sure the lifter is always on the base circle of the cam. Anyways, it has always worked perfectly for me.
I mean on TDC, adjust both intake and exhaust valves of # 1 , then rotate exactly 90* to adjust the next pair in the firing order - #8? And continue rotating 90* thru the FO.
That's what I'm doing right now. The big advantage is rotating the crank exactly 90*, rather than looking at the rotor. I have tape on the crank pulley measured off in quarters.
This time I am backing the rockers way off before coming back to zero. I think I had the lifters screwed down too far. Does this sound correct? I am having difficulty finding zero backlash.
