    solid lifter valve lash setting

     



    i have been asking around about setting the valve lash for a solid lifter cam
    the cam card says set the intake at .022 and the exhaust at .024 hot
    what would you set them at cold ?
    thanks

    Set them a few thousandths wider, warm the engine up good and reset them hot
