[Fot] spitfire head torque and valve adjustment

[Gt6steve at aol.com]

Now's the opportunity for the "Great Rocker Debate".  Seeing as how we  
missed "Is it Vintage" this winter?
 
I adjust as Jim mentioned, Chuck adjusts on the rock as Mark says.
 
Pro's and cons?

Normally the way I do valves is turn  the crank until the intake and 
exhaust for
some cylinder are 'on the  rock' where the exhaust is just about closed 
and the
intake just  starting to open.  Then I adjust the valves for that 
cylinder's  mate.
On the Spits that would be cylinders 1 & 4 and 2 & 3.   If you follow the
firing order it goes fairly  quickly.
