Default EOIC method

The comp cams EOIC method
E: exhaust
O: opening
I: Intake
C: closing
I'm going to adjust my valves today', using this method. My timing marks are set at 12 o'clock & 12 o'clock tdc #1 on the exhaust stroke. Will it be okay to start adjusting my valves with the marks like this? Because if I use the eoic method it shouldn't matter which stroke it's on right? As long as I turn it back to 12&12 before I drop the distributor ?

No it won't matter. As long as you are adjusting the valves when they are closed you are good to go

The EOIC method ensures that the valve you are going to adjust is on the "back side" or base of the cam lobe for an accurate adjustment. Might take a little getting used to, but definitely the recommended way of doing it.

Okay thanks for your answers, I just wanted to make sure that it didn't matter if it was on exhaust or compression stroke.

Im using summit roller tip rockers, and I planned on adjusting them using the eoic method. I was going to adjust them by spinning the push rod while turning the adjusting nut to zero lash then 1/2 turn for the perload because i have hyd flat tappet lifters. After i do the 1/2 turn for the preload am i done or is there a specific torque? because of there not being a poly lock like a full roller rocker.

After the preload is set, you're done.
