When I set the valve clearance I did one cylinder at a time, setting each cylinder at TDC and setting the clearance on both valves. Is that procedure correct ? More time consuming but I prefer to do it that way.
NO, that is NOT the proper way. Neither valve is EXACTLY on the center of the cam heel at that point.
There are several methods of determining the center point. The easiest requires no special tools, only visual observation of max valve lift. Then turn the crank one turn. Use chalk marks on the pulley or crank flange for reference but REMEMBER to wipe the marks off before going to the next valve.
