<VV> Valve Lash

[Harry Yarnell]

You have opened a can of worms!
One turn down from zero lash, and you're done. Do it static (engine not 
running). Some folks use 1/2 turn, some a 1/4. The BOOK calls for one turn.
The BOOK calls for leaving the engine at #1 TDC, and adjusting specific 
valves; then cranking it one turn (of the crank), and adjusting the rest.
I like to set each cylinder at TDC and adjust just that cylinder, and move 
on to the next one, as I'm easily confused...
