Hey there, I just put new trick flow twisted Wedge Heads on my 1992 gt and I'm about to install 1.6 trick flow stud mounted roller rockers. I pulled up the valve adjustment sequence from my school and I just wanted to make sure this was right if I was doing stud mounted rockers or how all of you guys did yours, thanks.

remember that there are two Top Dead Centers for each cylinder. So when you start on #1, it has to be on the compression stroke. So, turn the engine over clockwise until the intake valve of #1 is closing, once it closes, keep turning till you get to TDC. That is the compression stroke.

My preferred method of doing it is to start at #1 and do both valves. Then turn the engine over 1/4 of a turn, then do both valves on the next cylinder in the firing order. Keep doing that till you do all 8. But that method you have already is fine.
