I'm just curious, does it really matter if it is on the compression
stroke? Doesn't the cam push the same distance regardless of the stroke
its on?

AJ,

This site was a big help when I learned to re-torque heads and adjust
the valves. Find TDC by looking into the plug hole for the piston head
at its highest point on the compression stroke. Also, get the valve
clearances for your Ambo. Eldo is 6 for intake, 8 exhaust. The ones
given here are way to tight, and a different engine. To be done on a
stone cold motor.
