set the bank your working on to top dead centre and set the valves which are on overlap to equal lift. do the same for the other bank.

Do you know what the lift is in mm?

you dont have to know what the lift is, just that it's equal. use a DTI gauge or a couple of tee-squares like I use. I set mine up using no measuring equipment at all just two accurate right angled tee-squares to make sure the cam followers are level. you could do it with one accurate stright edge and a feeler blade i you wanted, there's many ways you can think of to make sure they're level on overlap.
