I am slowly getting the D 15 II motor back together. tody I finished torquing the head and put the rocker assembly on. I got the Jensales manual and thought I would just look up the intial assembly setting instrctions. Something like bring No 1 to TDC on compression stroke and adjust valves so and so. then move the crank to and set the rest.

I did not find anything. Can somebody give me a stear in the right direction for the initial assembly?
