Found alot in previous posts by searching but i'm still confused. It's been a while since i've had to adjust them cold. Hot is .026, do i
try .024 cold to allow for expansion when it warms up? It's a solid roller.thanks ------------------

K,Then a little less. .003 less, remember that valve lash isn't an exact science. Some run as much as .005-.010 tighter or looser to fine tune their engines.  SteveW
