OK, I measured cam timing almost 2 weeks ago then removed cam pulleys in anticipation of fitting verniers. However, it's only now that I'm ready to fit the verniers and time them in. Will the hydraulic tappets (Rover K series) still be fully "pumped up" or do I need to install verniers timed exactly as per original pulleys, put cam cover back on and start engine briefly, then remove cam cover to measure and set timing.
Obviously would rather not have to assemble and disassemble unless I have to!
Thanks
Dave
