If you have the air tube to the oil bath air cleaaner hooked up, the noise you hear COULD be the intake air being pulled through the oil bath, or bubbling back, if you have a valve too tight.

You MUST check the valves before starting, because if one or more are too tight, they will not close completely, and leak off compression, and possibly begin to "burn", if you get the engine started. You don"t have to set them quite as accurately as you"ll want to when you make the final setting. Just be sure they have AT LEAST the spec"d amount of clearance.

You already know how to find #1 TDC. At that point, set the valves on #1. Then, rotate the engine 180 degrees, and set the valves on #3, the next cylinder in firing order. Then, rotate the engine another 180 degrees, back to the TDC mark, which will now be TDC for #4. Set the valves on #4, and then rotate the engine 180 degrees, and set the valves on #2, the last cylinder in firing order.
