JH valve timing

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

I beg to differ, but the upper edge of the rear cover is correct.
But, either way. Try it one way and see what the power is like, then try it 
the other.
It's ~an 8 deg difference which is well beyond the range of reasonable 
advance/retard for a cam. So, the power will pretty much suck for one of 
them!
BTDT and settled on the top of the rear cover.
