I've tried every method there is and in my opinion EOIC by hand is the only way it is accurate on a stock eliminator style cam. I am not talking about other cams, just stocker cams as they have the most radical ramps and are much more "touchy" than any other ramp there is. I just do one cylinder at a time, front to back on each bank. I don't go anymore than approximately 1/3rd valve travel or movement and then make the adjustment.

For you serious race car guys with gross duration figures in the 320 plus region you can use the firing order sequence but instead of adjusting the #1 valves at TDC #1 adjust the previous intake rocker and the next exhaust rocker. This ensures that the lifter is on the absolute base circle of the camshaft.

This is the info I was referring too.

I concur.

This is the most accurate method, in the FO as prescribed by the S.A.E. in their manual.
