Technical Setting the valves

Can someone please put me out of my misery just pulled my ford flathead to pieces new cam, valves adjustable lifters etc but cant find good info on adjusting the valve gaps and after starting on number1 at TDC what then ? HELP HELP

 

This is the sequence I use:

When you pull of the intake you will find one of the combinations listed on the left. If you find an “a” set opened you use all of the “a” sequencing. If it is a “b” use all the “b” sequencing and so-forth.

Hope this helps.

Sequencing:

Valves Opened - Adjust these

a) 4X -- 1N ---> 3X- 3N- 8N- 6N- 7X- 2X

b) 8X – 5N ---> 1X- 7N- 6N- 7X- 3N- 2X

c) 6X – 4N ---> 5X- 2N- 1X- 7N- 3N- 2X


a) 3X – 8N ---> 1X- 7N- 5X- 2N- 4X- 1N

b) 6N – 7X ---> 5X- 2N- 4X- 1N- 8X- 5N

c) 3N – 2X ---> 4X - 1N- 8X- 5N- 6X- 4N


a) 1X – 7N ---> 8X- 5N- 6X- 4N

b) 5X – 2N ---> 6X- 4N- 3X- 8N

c) 4X – 1N ---> 3X- 8N- 6N- 7X

 

Another option and for me, simpler to remember.

Set exhaust when intake starts to close, set intake when exhaust starts to open.

This is most accurate way.......your always on the base circle of the cam using this method.
