When setting the valve lash on a new engine that hasn't run yet, its cold during the adjustment. The howard cam card says to set the valves .005" tighter than the specs, to account for break-in. Does this sound right?

Tony, how did you set yours? Did you set #1 exhaust when #1 intake was open, then spin the motor until #1 exhaust was open and set #1 intake, then go to next cylinder in order? Or did you bounce around between cylinders?

Thanks
