This is the way I have been doing it for years and never had a problem..
Good luck.. 8)
Not trying to pick sides or anything but this is the way I've always done it. Now my buddy who has a "FORD" did it the way fishman does his with no issues, but then again he's not running a cam with 722 lift and 320 degrees of duration either.
Another thing I always do is install a remote starter switch on the firewall so I can bump the motor over while adjusting the valves, just makes it easier.
