Okidokee - I am sure I will get flamed for EVEN posting this question as it will ruffle some folks feathers, but here goes. 😀
Aside from overlap and when TDC or BDC, a cylinder is in either the power stroke, the compression stroke, the intake stroke or the exhaust stroke, right?
If the cam lobe opens only for the correlating stroke and the spring keeps it closed for the others - why can't we put the pistons in a half-stroke position, say #1 is halfway through labor stroke, thereby knowing #1 has both valves closed, #3 has both closed, #4 has exhaust closed and #2 has intake closed.
Then at one time, adjust 6 valves at once, turn one (or 1/2) revolution and finish the last 2.
