Ok this is good....
By reading all of this, I really need to go back & re-adjust them. Topspeed,CP & Dparker: you have given me alot of good advice about thinking more than just the valve lash itself. The elements beyond the proceedure I can see are very important.
my builder told me to set them @ .26/.26 & start w/ the int. on one cylinder & then go to the exh on the same & follow them one cylinder at a time.
Perhaps I was not precise enough when I did it last time... at the very least, I need to perform it again to gain knowledge alone keeping in mind the temperatures VS tolerances...
I used the remote starter which is nice, but I wonder if at times if I have truely have hit absolute max lift. It seems like a narrow window of opperunity to be exact on the duration/adjustment point. Thanks again!! Scooter
