its funny. in the part where the manual talks about installing the cams, it talks only about clockwise rotation of the crank to get everything into place, whereas before it was all about counterclockwise rotation. they lost me. i appreciate the help fellas. i think i'm on the right track...

i read that, but with where it was in the manual, it sounded like it was just talking about cyl #1. it wasn't clear if it was referring to all cylinders. (i might have just misinterpreted it.) also, it doesn't really match up with the degrees of crank rotation specified. i have to go to the...

it just seems like the lobes are compressing the valve springs when the lobes are facing in. i cant get the feeler gauge in unless they face out. Dunno:dontknow:

Thats the way my suzuki is but tye manual is pretty clear on counterclockwise rotation of the crank. It says nothing about lobe position after cyl #1

Merry Christmas all, i'm checking the valves on my 08. the shop manual gives directions, which i understand, BUT: i just want to confirm that the lobes on the #2 and #3 cylinders should be pointing toward each other when checking those clearances. i find that the lobes for #1 and #4 face...
