I am just double checking some information regarding degreeing my Crower Stage IV cams. I have all the tools but I just want to make sure I am getting this right.
1. How do I measure zero lash? I made two adjustable solid lifters by putting a screw inside of them that can be threaded to move so it should be more precise and easier to do than shimming. I have been told that it is measured when the roller on the rocker able to move with a little bit of resistance. Is there a better way to do it with feeler gauges?
2. When everything is done. How should I go about putting the timing belt back on? Do I just install it like I normally would and just set the camshafts at whatever degrees I found them to be? Do I use the new TRUE TDC I found using the piston stop? I am kind of confused on how I now time the motor since the camshafts are now off a few degrees and we found the true TDC.
I just want to avoid bending a valve or hurting anything.
