Your lash settings will depend on your motor...iron or aluminum block and iron or aluminum heads.
The following is from the old Crane Cams:
You can take the "hot" setting given to you in the catalog or cam specification card and alter it by the following amount to get a "cold" lash setting.
With iron block and iron heads, add .002"
With iron block and aluminum heads, subtract .006".
With both aluminum block and heads, subtract .012".
Remember this correction adjustment is approximate and is only meant to get you close for the initial start up of the engine. After the engine is warmed up to its proper operating temperature range, you must go back and reset all the valves to the proper "hot" valve lash settings.

Well I did spend a few conscious minutes in high school... 
You under estimate everybody. And it's not a flattering trait.
Seriously- address my point please- is this the sum total of your enjoyment of being in the He-Man Cobra Owners Club?

No, it's not the sum total; it is some of the total. |

Where else can you get good advice as a rookie and free entertainment like this?
Now driving a cobra through Anacostia would be a different experience to say the least. I know there are carbon fiber cobras, what about Kevlar cobras?

No, he wants a walking tour, maybe just after midnight. And he gets bonus points if he continually shouts "I need a dime, I need a dime" at the top of his lungs and still makes it back to his hotel alive.  |

The point is to be circumspect about whose advice you seek and whose you follow.
Knowledge without experience is worthless.

See I told you guys I'm just an innocent bystander. You lost me on Anacostia. And I'm not interested in googling it either.

Anacostia is one of the least safe neighborhoods in DC. Which makes it one of the least safe neighborhoods in the country.

... and if Chas was sceaming that he "needed a dime," that would be interpreted as a polite request for a $10 rock of crack cocaine. |

Pretty impressive that this thread is titled "Valve lash questions" and the last post is about dime bags.....

Somehow the fact that you asked for valve lash advice, and we ended up sending ERAChas in to Anacostia to buy crack cocaine, really appeals to me. |
