Getting the other 4 cylinders exactly on TDC is a wild guess situation unless you use something like the "companion cylinder" method of assuring the cylinder you're adjusting is actually on the base circle of the cam. I've explained that so often my fingers cramp up just at the thought of doing it again- - - - -do a site search for "Companion cylinder valve adjustment"! Jerry
