to find tdc compression, remove plugs turn engine over with your finger in plug hole, when you feel pressure that's the compression stroke. continue turning until piston is at tdc. that is where to adjust valves.

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 850
