Okie dokie. All I'm saying is each individual can (and should) test their own car if they want to know for sure. Otherwise they can stick to the FSM.

I maintain that if you have such problems with your camshaft that something will break if you set your valve clearance with the lobe at slightly off of the 1:00 position then you surely have worse problems to deal with.

Clearly there's a lot of emotion (and ellipses) here, and I can't compete with that. Everyone should take the available info and decide how they want to do things on their own car. Do it all at your own risk (including anything in the FSM). Or take it to the dealer.
