Mart Well-known member Mar 20, 2015 #2 It's not a bad way to do it. I think I did my last one that way. Cam, valvegear, crank, rods and pistons in that order. Mart.

19Fordy Well-known member Mar 20, 2015 #3 It would be easier to rotate the crank if the rods and pistons are not yet installed.
deuce_roadster Well-known member Mar 20, 2015 #4 Like 19Fordy I prefer to adjust the valves with just the crank in place, then install pistons and rods. It IS way easier.
