setting valve lash
you guys always get right back with answers and i always listen. i have sbc with steel block and steel chevy heads. i adjust my valves sort of opposite of the aluminum head way. i set mine cold and set them aboune .004 LOOSE as i think the steel does just opposite movement than metal ive done it this way for15 years and it seems to work, but i could be wrong. think my engine builder told me to do it this way cold, and i always do them cold. i am open to your good advice thanks art PS i also use the EO_IC method, but i do it in a little more exact fashion. i adjust the intake when the exhaust is down 1/3 of the way(not all the way down or just starting down) and i adjust the exhaust when the intake is all the way open and 1/2 the way back up to closed. a few top tuners and cam manufacturers have said this is the best way to get the valves adjusted right using this eo-ic method art
