To adjust the lifters I had used the method from an old camshaft installation guide -
Turn engine until exhaust valve starts to open (about 1/5 of the way) then set intake valve
Turn the engine until the intake valve has opened fully and then is about 1/3 of the way closed - set the exhaust valve
The stock balancer is not marked like an aftermarket performance one is
May have found where a lot of the power this engine should have has been hiding - will take the car out again soon - but may go back through the valves again first
