blakeF,


When #1 piston is at TDC the cylinder in the third number of the zundfolge (firing order) will also be at TDC. I forget the zundfolge but for example if the zundfolge is 1, 3, 4, 2,. Cylinders 1 and 4 would be at TDC and turning the engine 180* would bring cylinders 3 and 2 to TDC.

In other words you can set the engine to TDC, do 4 valves, turn the engine 180* and then do the other 4 valves.

Check the zundfolge on your engine. 4 cylinder engines are easy. 5 cylinder and V8 engines are much more difficult.

Make sure you get the valve nuts tight.
