The crank makes two revolutions to every one revolution of the cam, so
the cam is at a different rotational position at the two different TDCs.
You can prove this to yourself by looking in the timing chest, the cam
gear has twice as many teeth as the crank gear so it takes twice as long
to get around.

p.s., the Premier manual (factory manual) does a decent job of
describing how to set valve lash.

I'm just curious, does it really matter if it is on the compression stroke? Doesn't the cam push the same distance regardless of the stroke its on? Cam Conklin wrote:
