Rotating the engine twice ensures that zero lash is found by eventually tightening on the camshafts base circle. I can see how this technique is useful in a shop where distractions occur as well as the DIYer enthusiast at home in his or her garage were interruptions are likely. This procedure works for flat as well as hydraulic roller camshafts with stamped or roller rockers with or without lock nuts. Two thumb up.

Great method. I just did this on my big block C10 this morning. Worked like a champ and way easier than any method I’ve used in this past.

This is Awesome! I saw this method on another video for a 350 hydraulic lifters non roller cam. I tried did it and wow engine fired right up first round; it made a believer out of me 😎

I love how you factored in the "getting interrupted" moment. I don’t recall ever building an engine start to finish, without being interrupted unless it’s on Christmas morning.

Thanks for the video and explanation!

Good video. I'll be running my rockers after my freshly rebuilt big block started to choke and back fire a bit after only a few hours after the rebuild.

Hi .. Thanks 👍🏽 just did my valves on my BBC sound good ✌🏽
-
Does this work with any engine other than a marine engine? Also do you use the lock Allen nut to lock all of the nuts? I didn’t see you lock them.
-
This worked great on my bbc s10! Can I use this same method on a sbc?

Getting ready to open up a pair of Gen 6 HP500 carbed motors to inspect lifters/springs. Do the lifter need to be dry or primed to use this method? By the way, that is a slick way to do it vs. the messy running motor oil going everywhere method LOL!

I've got a 351w where i did the valve adj. with the firing order, set the tdc on and on and now i can't even get the engine to idle...Very frustrating since I just spent a grand having timing set. Very frustrating for me...and it's always something for sure...
-
What if you forget to put the half turn and then prime engine. Can you go back and add half turn
-
Are the push rods supposed to spin when your done?
-
So my lifters were already ran on the engine. I just upgraded from stamped to full roller rockers. Does that change my preload
-
What happens if you turn a motor over and some of the rockets are too tight you loosen them back up a little bit
-
Can this procedure be done if I have already soaked my hydraulic lifters in oil overnight?
-
Excellent
-
Must of got interrupted ! How do you plunge them in ??
-
