I have searched the archives and read till I am blue in the face...
This tutorial shows removing valve lash when using a dial indicator...

But, I will simply be aligning the marks for lack of indicator tool.
The article implies that they re-lashed the valve after checking via tower marks...but it is not totally clear, and you guys are the pros, so..

Do I need to remove the lash on that #1 intake valve? Or just align the marks and check as is?
