Came across something interesting today. The Hanes manual says to rotate the engine until the lobes are pointing at each other but at their highest level before rolling over, this way you can do both the intake and the exhaust on one side at a time. The Triumph manual though says to do the intake and or the exhaust one at a time and have the tip of the lobe 180 deg away from the bucket. So this way you can only do the intakes on one side, then rotate again to do the exhaust etc.
My question is, has anyone tried this the different ways and if so, did you notice much of a difference if any in your measurment. It just seems (right or wrong) that you might get extra clearance if the lobes are pointing straight up? Or are the lobes already past any shape difference by the time they are rotated to the haynes method?
