Except that the TR3 motor (or more specifically it's camshaft) has a special property that makes it much easier to set or check
valve timing without the use of a degree wheel or dial indicator. You can go through all that stuff with checking lift and so on if
you want; but I find the method given in the workshop manual to be a lot easier. Plus, it only requires a set of feeler gauges and
some way to accurately find TDC. If you have the cam cover and front pulley installed, the factory TDC mark will do. If not, use a
piston stop and pencil marks on the flywheel (or similar).
And of course everything you read on the Internet is true.
