So lets see Aero, if that logic applies then the more we let it
clatter the longer the valve stays in contact with the seat and
the cooler the valve will run right?? I can see where this
thread is headed by page 5 when we start to factor in using sodium
valves, engine rpm, air temperature, density and grade of fuel
that we're using. Not to mention the fact that the water
jackets in most of these old Stovebolt's are so limed up that,
that should be the major concern rather than a couple of
thousands variation from the nominal valve adjustment.
