    3FE valve adjustment

    Now that makes sense. You were talking about something else. The rotor points at the cylinder #4 sparkplug, which is the reference. This does translate to number 1 on the dizzy cap, because cylinder number one fires at TDC.

    3FE valve adjustment

    Seems like you're talking about something else. What @OSS posted is what we're saying, and is what the FSM shows. When the distributor rotor electrode is pointed at cylinder number 4, you're at, or very near, TDC.

    John, dude, hold on. Your noise under load goes away with 93 octane, that's what you told me. We discussed that it's not "crazy valve sounds" but pinging, which was one of the possibilities from the start. I'm sure that the valve clatter at idle doesn't go away with different fuel.
