Cold Valve Adjustment?

[VA Mountain FJ40]

To be clear. TDC on the compression stroke.

Yep. Dizzy rotor should be pointing just to the right of plug #4 on compression stroke TDC for cylinder 1, IIRC. Saw in a Redline video that I should be able to rattle or spin the first three pushrods if #1 is TDC compression.

VA Mountain FJ40, I get it, everyone does it however they are comfortable with. I'm glad everything is working out for you. Hopefully when it's done you can enjoy it in this nice cruising weather.
