There's your problem. You should've been eating a Moon Pie along with the Dr. Pepper. As someone else already pointed out, setting the valves is like revenge, a dish best done or serverd cold. Unless of course you have a warm spec or a non-stock cam, but the .010" spec normally applies to a cold stock engine. Seein' as how your email address sez v6spitfireguy, would you have a V6 in your Spitfire? -- Jim Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] '80 Spitfire, '70 GT6+ _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html [email protected] http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/spitfires http://www.team.net/archive
