The .008-inch feeler gauge needs a little bit of effort to slide between the roller tip and the valve stem. For consistency, it's a good idea to create the habit of setting the valve lash cold. Otherwise you're guessing if the valve train is still at operating temperature as the head cools. It's recommended to insert the feeler gauge in the same direction the roller turns. Then tighten down the lash until just before the motion of the feeler gauge makes the valve stem move. Remember, you're supposed to torque the adjuster nut after the jamb nuts are set. And the valve lash will loosen up after the first time the engine is fired. The valve seats can take a good deal of abuse if the engine detonates. View Related Article
