Hi All,
Removed my valve cover and adjusted the valves. Prior to setting the valves, I remembered something Randy Forbes posted a while back on setting valves. Randy indicated that he set the valves cold for consistency and, since the intake valves gain some cooling when Open, due of the passage of the air/fuel, he set the intakes to 0.012". However, since the exhaust gain any cooling Closed, when in contact with the valve seats, he set the exhausts to 0.015" to allow a small amount of extra time.
His logic seemed proper to me and have set my intakes at the high side of 0.012" cold and my exhausts to 0.015" cold. Also interesting, 0.015" cold translates to 0.012" hot. Has anyone tried this exhaust valve setting?
Although I have reinstalled my valve cover with the Gasket Innovations seal still in place, I have not yet started the engine but expect to have no issues when I do.
