Reply to "valve adjustment questions"

mike the snake (Guest)

I want to adjust the valves just because I want to do it.

The engine is running fine, but I know adjusting the valves is part of the maintenance, and it's something i haven't checked personally yet.

I want to learn how to do everything i can on my car that I can do myself.

I have the cam sheet, it says .020.

So as George P wrote, an iron block with aluminum heads would be hot lash (.020) minus .006?

Is that correct?

I'm not looking for perfection, more to learn about my car, and to adjust the valves and ensure they are all in check.
