cold, OK...I think I got confused with Marshall's comment in another message on cold
COMPRESSION TESTING being variable...now that I think about it, I remember asking my
Indy about this once and he said, "No we don't adjust them cold, we adjust them at
room temperature." HAHAHA!
same wrenches - sweet.
Remember, it takes an engine about eight hours after it's been shut down
before it reaches room temp! Even running it for 20-30 sec will warm the
engine enough to prevent proper, even adjustment. If you expect temps to
go below zero (F) the intake valve clearance needs to change from 0.004"
to 0.006" (that's 0.10 mm to 0.15 mm).
