The piston has to be at the TDC position on the compression stroke, then the
exact point of adjustment may vary by a fe degrees according to cam and
lifter wear. The way to find the exact position is to go to tdc and set th
clearence, Then move the crank back a little and check it again. If it
changes then re-adjust and then move it back the other way and look for a
different reading . The point you are looking for is the area around TDC with
the biggest clearence, remember to do this with a dead cold engine. Greg LAPD
