			right side  i set z1 and the camshaft dot up.  ( i think this should have been done when i set the left side up)   
		
	
		
	
			
			
				
					i rotated 360 after setting valve clearance put dial on and removed pin turned camshaft almost 1/2 a revolution and noted lift coming around z1 stayed and when i saw change in dial showing valve moved down 2.6 mm i put pin back in it feels like i did it wrong and worried about direction of rotation thanks  |
