Two questions
1
Should this be done while the engine is hot or cold? Does it matter?
Bentleys shop manual says it should be done while engine is cold, BUT a local british specialty shop mechanic told me "this makes no sence since these angines dont run cold" and he always does it with the engine hot.
Again, does it matter?
2
How can u tell if the engine has aluminum rocker pedestals Bentleys says that for later models with al rockers the inlet and exhaust clearances are the same. .010". This is not the case for earlier models but who knows what is in there if there has been a rebuild
