The settings for a 261 with a 261 head might be different, but if you have an 848 head on a 261, wouldn't the valve settings be the same?
I never have understood why the valves have to be set hot, and if so, why does it need to be done with the engine running? I agree that setting them cold seems like an OK idea, but setting them hot WITHOUT the engine running seems like alot less trouble than having to loose a feeler gage in the process, try to be accurate in the process and wash down the oil from the fire wall and everwhere else it gets on the truck.
:mad:
I'm going to have to be very convinced that setting them cold isn't OK and very, very convinced that it can't be done with the engine hot and OFF!
