Hello. I have a 440 out of a 68 coronet. Just put a new hydraulic cam/lifters and Cloyes timing chain in. Crank sprocket dot set at 12 o’clock. Cam sprocket set at 6 o’clock. Harmonic balancer at zero. Number 1 piston at TDC. Trying to set valve lash using TDC method. With number 1 cylinder at TDC I’m supposed to adjust # 2 intake and #8 exhaust. Both those lifters are at the peak of their lobes. What am I missing here? I did remove the chain before taking photos as I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks
Yes number 1. Someone on a mopar facebook page just informed me that dot to dot on timing gears is exhaust stroke on # 1. Person said do both gears at 12 o’clock and I’ll be on compression stroke at #1. Dot to dot apparently is compression stroke on #6 cylinder
One other note.... If you still have the old timing set?
Double check the new set with the old set.... Look to make sure all the markings are the same.... Bolt Holes, Dowel Pin, Key way, and alignment dots... These have been known to be wrong at times !!!!!

OK... In that case you should be able to do 3 and 5 ??
