Default Valve Adjustment tips

I finally decided to make my life easier and I purchased the Snap on tool, and I already have the feeler gauges.

My problem is on crank setting. TDC I can get because the pulley lines up with the timing belt cover.

But my cams are adjusted 2degrees intake and 2degrees exhaust. Will this effect anything?

And also, I can't be 100% exact as I rotate the crank, because the gears are off, will anything be off if I do? thanks.

it should be very close, but to get it perfect i would set the gears to zero. Piece of mind really.

I really wouldn't worry about it, unless you have some wild cams as long as you are not loading the rocker with lift then you'll be fine... As alwheelerman said, if you're really worried go back to 0,0 for the time being... Latez

alright, just to be on the safe side I'll probably just go back to (0,0) they're stage II cams, and after my last valve adjustment everything still seemed off

I have crower stage one cams in my B18C, I set my cams back to 0,0 to adjust.
