Thanks all. I did check TDC several times during this process with the positive stop method just to make sure I hadn't bumped the pointer. It was spot on every time. Even pulling the stop off & on it stopped the piston at 34.5 degrees before & after every time. I rolled the engine many times doing this constantly checking the lifter was following the cam, it was. I got the ICL by stopping 010 before max lift & 010 after max lift & splitting the difference.

Sound s like you have your procedures down, I just may go a little bit further off max lift on each side, sorta lets things level out a bit more than .010.  Like I said, I usually do .050, but will check at .100 if I think I don't like what I saw

I lost track of where you think you are now though :)

 Where I am now is 108 ICL and timing cover on!    :D
Yeh I checked the max lift at 050 before and after but it was a bit screwy. Almost like the back of the lobe was different to the front. So I went 010 and it jived with the other events and card so ran with it. Still a lot of work to do before it gets slotted in but getting there.
