If you have a cam with any sort of overlap, you do not want to
follow the shop manual method of setting the valves. Instead,
you need to follow the firing order. With a warmed up engine,
turn the motor over by hand, set the intake lash just as the
exhaust valve begins to open. Set the exhaust lash just before
the intake valve closes. Proceed to the next valve in the firing
order and repeat.
