Ok hi guys I just want to confirm that I understand this. Toadjust the valve I set the motor at TDC right? I also put the timing mark on the cranshaft pulley at 0 right? ok then i go and adjust the 1st half of the valves right then heres the part where im confused do I then turn the crankshaft a whole 360 which means I land back on the same spot? where the timing mark on the pulley is at 0? and cylinder 1 and 4 are up? is this true?

Yes take the rotor off so you can see where it is follow the mark on your harmonic balance set at 0. the cap off helps to be able to see that your on 4 and not 1. make sure you follow the book on which to adjust and when

when you say to make sure im at 4 that will be for the second set right? and for the first set make sure the rotor is pointing at 1 right?

MuddinRI

correct. the rotor helps to let you see where you are..

ohh ok thanks alot... i really appreciate it, yea cause it was really weird that Id turn it a whole 360 and i felt like if i was in the same position again so I would say why dont i just adjust both sets all at the same time? So when I turn my crankshaft a whole 360 again My rotor will be pointing torwards 4 right? and its not I JUST turn it until it hits 4 right?

it makes more sence when you think about the fact that the cam only rotates once for every 2 turns of the crank

that's why at TDC one way you can adjust half of them, then spinning the crank one full 360 turn spins the cam only 180 half turn, so then you can do the other half

I just did mine yesterday

I've never had to take the rotor off though

just drop the skid plate, put a 19mm socket and a breaker bar on the crank bolt, rotate it to TDC 0 degrees, do the first half, then rotate the crank 360 degree and back to 0, and then do the other half

oh yeah, .008 intake and .012 exhaust if you didn't already know that
