setting them up on the base circle for each valve is the best, once 0 lash is reached from there it should take no more than 1 -1.25 turn to reach 25 ft lbs of torque on the bolt I believe

when i got my 1.7 the instructions said to make sure the pushrod is at its lowest point (rotate 360 to confirm). then torque to spec.

theres also this film u can get to put on the tip of the rocker to check when its touching the pushrod. wish i knew the name of it as i want to use it on my motor.
