No i value your opinion obviously you know more about the subject then I do it's just frustrating. I have tried all these different ways to set the valves spending hours of time and no improvement I just wanna take my kid for a ride rather then wrench the same thing over and over again. Would be nice if there was a set in stone way to do it not 15 different ways to achieve the same thing.

Surely I don't want to ruin the new engine just blew thousands of dollars don't need to do that again.

I will check the distributor Tomorrow see about that and redo the valves one last time on the weekend with your proposed method of each cylinder threw the firing order. And if I can't get anything more then 11inches of murcury then that's it with valves I know at that point the engine just can not achieve any more.
