Valve postions

[WokingWedger]

I am having a 'senior moment', can any one tell me which is no 1 inlet valve (the valve nearest the front or the second one back)

Also which valve will be open when no 1 piston is at tdc ( I want both folowers of the cam for no 1 cyl)

Cheers

inlets are in the middle, exhausts toward the outside (the maniflods give you a good clue - they don't cross over each other within the heads).

None of the valves should be open at TDC

I meant which valves in the other cylinders will be open, as a check that no 1 is at tdc

or both will be depends which tdc you are on!!

If you want no1 to be completly closed ie to set the tappets, you want no 6 on the rock.
