Button on firewall. and maybe 10 minutes.
Not sure I would do this on today's cam profiles. You are not necessarily on the lobe base circle when the piston is at TDC. Bet if you went back and checked using the EOIC method the lash would be different. On my 4-7 swap BBC the intake will not be fully on the base circle until the exh. is nearly fully open. 8) JB
