I am checking the valves because they seem noisy and also to track down an erratic idle
I have read the rocking method but I would like to stick with the dizzy and TDC method please. I read cyl #1 & #3 has same TDC and #2 & #4 has same TDC Question 1 – Setting TDC on the fan notch does it have to be at “0” or will the notch for “27BTDC” work too When I find TDC for #1 on fan notch and dizzy rotor is pointing to #1 tower of dizzy cap Question 2 - Can I adjust all the valves for #1 and #3 cyl ?? Then rotating the motor to #2 TDC on fan notch and dizzy is pointing to #2 tower Question 3. Can I adjust all the valves for #2 and #4 cyl ?? Question 4. Is it wise to replace the cork valve cover and not risk a leak. The gasket is pretty new though and low mileage since I last had them off. I am thinking of purchasing the 914rubber re-usable ones. Any recommendation’s Thanks everyone ! Ted |

Timing light clamp on #1? That's drivers side rear plug wire. I realize you probably know that, but it's happened before.
