Hey Peter,
I tried the drip method and it didn't work well for me. I thought the holding tool method woud be more accurate.

Checking chain stretch with 2mm valve lift without the specs for the #11 cam would just be guess work anyway. I checked with a dial indicator but I don't have the specs to work with. I read 12 deg on balancer at 2mm lift now what do I do with that?
What I am just realizing now is the crank is supposed to be set at 15 deg ATDC on compression stroke minus 1/2 chain stretch. Not minus chain stretch. That would put the crank position at 3 deg off where it's supposed to be.
Guess I'll be back out there again tonight. Darn this sucks. I hate working in the carport at night.
I think that's why I make stupid mistakes. I'm trying to get done before it gets dark.
I really need a garage BAD!
Danny
