Valve clearance

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Working on my D14, replacing gaskets on the valve cover and manifold. I was going to check valve clearances and make adjustments if necessary while I have the valve cover off. Since many components have been removed to prep for paint I can’t start the engine to warm it up to operating temperature to check the valve clearance as the manual recommends. Question is, is there a big difference checking them cold versus hot? .012” is what the book calls for. Obviously much easier to check at this point with all sheetmetal removed or should I wait until I put her back together and get it up to operational temperature?
I’m sorry I put this in the wrong place, I put it over in the farm section.
