MGB MGB VALVE LASH

[tvrguy]

Hello,
Can anyone tell me the valve lash settings for a 77 MGB and are they set hot or cold?
Thanks

.013 hot or .015 cold. I prefer doing it cold but some like it hot. (Pun intended!)

 

[tvrguy]

Thanks so very much!

I set mine at .013 [overly warm]. Works for me! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazyeyes.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif PJ

Just did mine this monring and then noticed this thread. I did it hot @ .015" Should I do it at .013" while hot?

 

[Guinn]

yes

All dependes on what cam you have fitted, if std 13" HOT is they way to go, or if your going to give it a hard time 15" is fine

It's a shame that they never put hydraulic lifters in these little British engines. Sure would have eliminated a problem for some. Also would run quieter. But then it wouldn't be a "B", would it? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif PJ
