Deve has rearranged his site.
Hot valve lash procedure is now here.

My question is COLD, as in prepping to fire a fresh rebuilt (or long stored) motor.
Life got in the way of getting the old GMC running again, but I had a quick look at the valve lash by turning it over a quarter turn at a time on the stand.

Cylinder Intake Exhaust
1 18 22
2 20 25
3 10 24
4 16 41
5 20 23
6 16 28

Is that close enough to let it fly and then adjust them hot,
or what should I be targeting cold?

Thanks, y'all.

 

After doing a valve job on my 228 two years ago, I set intakes to 0.012" cold (not running) and exhaust to 0.020" cold. After starting and warming up, I reset to those same values. After a tank of gas, I hot adjusted once again to the same values. Worked for me.
