curious about valve lash setting/check

IMO I still like this way. It's easy and works on adjustable hydraulic cams and for solid cams .



Hydraulic Lifter Adjustment the easy way

When the exhaust valve just begins to open Adjust the intake.
Turn the engine over until the intake push rod moves all the way up and rotates just past maximum lift. Now adjust Exhaust valve.

I personally do this 1 cylinder at a time.
I’ll adjust ¼ to ½ turn after determining Zero lash.

Works on Solid lifter cams a well just set your lash.

The way your doing is a better way just more time consuming IMO.
