?? Valve Lashing 273 ??

My 67 book shows ---- EDIT .013, .021 EDIT---- I disagree that "running" is necessary. I use the "EOIC" method, which means

When EXHAUST (starts to) OPEN, adjust the intake valve on that cylinder

When INTAKE (almost) is CLOSED, adjust the exhaust valve on that cylinder

This works for any 4 stroke engine, no matter how wild or mild the cam

You must have better cams than me. I tried it this way, and when I kept turning and checking the gap on the base circle, the gap changed. Is it close enough? Probably... I always, at least, double check everything. I readjust after 5,000 miles and have been good to go. But I only run up to about .500 lift cams anyway. My only point is to keep turning the crank and checking the gap. If the gap gets bigger you need to adjust it to be correct.
