Engine HELP!!!!
#3
I dont think I would have the intake on. I seem to remember, its easier with that off, so you can spin the push rods with your fingers. I dont think you need to worry about TDC either. I think what needs to happen...
1. rotate the engine until until each(intake and exhaust) valve are in the closed position-per cylinder.
2. spin the push rod with fingers and tighten the rocker nut until the spinning just stops.
3. then tighten the nut 1/2 turn extra. that should be about right.

I hope this is correct, it's been awhile for me. Maybe someone with more experience will correct me and help ya,Chuck
