I think what you may be encountering is that when you have the other
valve fully depressed, the valve spring forces the camshaft away from
its otherwise "neutral" position, causing the adjacent valve
clearance to increase. I never thought about this before you
mentioned it, but to me it is a possibility. This points out that the
cam is floating in about .002" of oil, eh?

engine. I followed the manual by rotating the prop 360 degrees from
when the valve was fully depressed and set at .010.I did all the
valves following this proceedure. Then I rechecked by checking the
clearance by rotating engine till one valve was depressed then
checked the other. The valve which was set at .010 now has a
clearance of .012 in this position. This was true of all the valves
when I checked using the second method..Which is correct?
