Cold Valve Lash Question

I would set them at .008 COLD and then get it hot.

Then check the hot lash and see what it gains. Then you’ll know how tight to set them cold.

Normally I say .002-.004 tighter when cold but those lobes call for .008 hot.

.002 tighter is a 25% reduction in lash and .004 tighter is a 50% reduction in lash. That a bunch.

If the card said hot lash of .020 and you went .002 tight that’s only a 10% reduction in lash and .004 is only 20%.

Running the numbers I suppose setting the lash at .002 tighter cold isn’t THAT much tighter as a percentage.

I’d still set them at .008 cold and get some heat in it and measure it hot. You’ll know how tight to go.
