Install all 16, and snug down the nut by hand 2. Rotate the engine until the balancer reads TDC on the compression stroke. 3. Check the rotor in the dist and verify that its pointing at the #1 wire at the cap. If its not rotate the engine 360 degrees. 4. with a 1/4" drive ratchet tighten the following rockers until you can't rotate(they begin to drag) the pushrod with your fingers(which is zero lash). Cyl #1 intake /exhaust cyl #3 exhaust cyl #4 intake cyl #7 exhaust cyl #8 intake 5. Now tighten each of those an additional 3/4 turn beyond zero lash. 6. rotate the engine 360 degrees, so the balancer reads TDC again. 7. Do the same as above. tighten these rockers again to zero lash cyl #3 intake cyl #2 exhaust Cyl #7 intake cyl #6 exhaust 8. Now tighten them an additional 3/4 beyond zero lash 9. rotate the engine 90 degrees and tighten these to zero lash cyl #2 intake cyl #4 exhaust cyl #5 intake and exhaust cyl #6 intake cyl #8 exhaust 10. now tighten those an additional 3/4 beyond zero lash.
