Jerry Hot Rod Lincoln....Thats alot of great technical info. there. Makes me think of something more simplier.....that exhaust valves are set with a couple thousandths more gap than the intake because they get hotter and will close up more as the engine gets hot.
I still cant get over the idea that the hydraulic valves are not working properly on my 69 C10, and they are running too tight when the engine gets warm, and then are so tight as to make the compression way too high and almost impossible for the cylinders to crank over when warm. Is there any way that this scenario could happen?
