Try it and see if you get the same results. Now you have me curious.

I have been setting valves by bumping the engine over and setting the lash at the loosest location on the base circle on both flat and roller tappet engines.

I have been doing lash this way 50 years, I'm not saying that it's right I am saying that it has worked in past and will work in the future.

There are a lot of different ways to skin a cat, so just use what works for you.
