I fail to see how your method is better if the camshaft is concentric as it apparently is. Your method is only better if the camshaft is not concentric, or unknown.

Hugh,

This is why my method IS better...

Any camshaft can either have base-circles that are concentric (within tolerances), or a bit off...

If my method is used, the possibility of getting it right is independent of the fact...

It will be right, whether the base-circles are, or are not concentric.

Using the procedure stated in the manual will get it right, only in case the base-circles are concentric with the camshaft...
If the specific camshaft does not have concentric base-circles, the adjustment will be WRONG with this procedure!

Since when you receive an engine, you don't normally disassemble it to ascertain the base-circles' concentricity, it must be regarded as an unknown.

MY method of adjusting the valves will then get the right results regardless.
