Hi, new to forum. I am not a professional, but I am fairly competent on things mechanical. That being said,I hope this question does not show my ignorance-In the Intek Service Manual it is stated to adjust valves @ 1/4"(6 mm) past top dead center. My question-1/4" on flywheel travel or piston travel? Be kind with your responses

Thanks
Ron

One in the same.

Both valves will be closed at this point.

Simple no fail way to adjust valves.
Turn flywheel so that one valve is open. Adjust the closed one.

Piston travel 1/4" beyond TDC following the compression stroke.

I can send you a Service Manual for your engine IF you like, address below, put in proper format and remind me engine model number and what you want.

3/8", 1/2" or even 3/4" beyond TDC will work too. The manufacturer just wants to make sure the cam is off of the compression relief bump. A drink straw is a safe tool to use when monitoring piston travel.
