Title: valve lash
Post by: kingsburgphil on November 25, 2009, 06:31:45 am
Your opinions please, as my experience is thirty years out of date. Approx. valve lash for a motor w/ AS41, FK 89, Berg rockers,
Comp Elim's.  Lobe centers and pushrods unknown, 50x? valve size, (unknown metal). Race configuration only.

Thanks, that's what the previous owner was told by the builder. My only experience was to set valves to .004/.006 cold. I guess things have changed
since then.
