I have the pro degree kit and had a few questions.

how do you set 'zero' valve lash? set it to the manufacture's lash rating or at a different rating?

where exactly does the dial indicator go? on the retainer? camshaft lobe? does anyone have a picture to help me out here?

i understand the process is done, i am just a little unsure about the zero valve-lash and indicator positioning.

 

Are you sure you're not confusing valve lash vs. valve timing adjustments?

I don't know that kit, so maybe explain your question some more.

 

The indicator goes on the retainer.

Put the indicator on the retainer and then adjust the valve lash (clearance) to zero (no clearance between the rocker and the cam). You'll know it's close to zero as soon as the indicator starts moving.
