Nope, that's a totally different animal. Hurst and Olds entered into a

Why can't you move the piston to the compression stroke (so both valves

Or put the piston at TDC firing, which is simplest, and then adjust.
However, I don't like to fiddle with 2 small

Since it was the Exhaust valves that were replaced, I believe they're
