Hello again, I have my heads on and now attempting to install push rods and rockers. Spoke to Paul Bartz and Dick Paterson about the sequence and have a few more questions. When you start at TDC on intake stroke #1 should it be at 0 degrees or 8 degrees and is the cam lobe always down to it's lowest point on intake stroke or both intake and exhaust stroke. I know I need to start at TDC intake stroke. Then turn 1/4 turn and go to #8 and follow firing order with install. Also, does the pulley system/cam turn clockwise or counter when under the coach. If the rotor turns counter I am guessing the cam does do. I have the manual but it doesn't give me enough info. My so-called mechanic helping me is a no show of late and might try this on my own. I know to be careful with the rod install and go back and forth on the tightening of the bolts to get right tension on the rods. If anybody feels like calling me for some insight I would appreciate it. I can supply number.
