Rotate the crankshaft clockwise after TDC. Rotate the camshaft until the gauge reads that it is at full lift. Then rotate the crankshaft until the inlet valve of number one cylinder is just off full lift position, and record the number on the timing disk. Continue to rotate the crank clockwise until the valve has opened and then closed again, and record this number. Add these numbers together and divide by two to find the number that is the full lift position. This will time your camshaft.
