This nonsense of using a distributor cap and setting a pair of valves at TDC will get you into trouble. ESPECIALLY if you have installed a larger camshaft, the two lifters ARE NOT on the "backside" of the cam lobe at TDC!!!!
That is the entire reason for the EOIC method. When you jack the exhaust valve slightly open, the intake IS on the back of the cam
In my opinion, trying to set them running is just silly
