Default Valve setting techniques...

I have to ask this b/c I set mine two days ago and I f*****d it up on number one. I have a 2 thousandths ding in my number one piston from the exhaust valve.

I think it's okay and poured fluid in the exhaust port of number 1 and it holds. Also the seat looks fine.

Trick Flow instructions state 1/4 - 1/2 turn on the rocker stud nut of the closed valve after zero lash. Zero lash being when the instant you cannot twist the pushrod with your fingertips as it seats in the rocker. Then snug up the hex nut inside of roller rocker.

Sound right?

I go in order with marks on my balancer at TDC, 180*, then to 90*.

From now on, I won't go past 1/8 of a turn on the rocker stud nut.

Thanks...
