I should have posted a new topic instead of writing in someone elses.....

I have just degreed my cam in today and got to setting the tappet clearences of the 3k.I have consulted the sheet that was given to

me by my re-grinder and it states.Running clearance IN .017 and Ex 0.17.Now my question is, are those the tappet clearances i should use when the valves are hot or cold?

 

Cheers for an help in advance..

Alloy head is always hot!!!!

 

If it's to noisy, just take a couple of thou off it, won't make any difference.

Ok cool,

 

So what would be my specs for valve clearance on the cold?

 

I presume i have to set it to hot clerances once the engine is at operating temp?

mmm, very good question, set them to about 25 thou, at least then you'll have no issues when you start it.

It'll be just noisy.
