Hi ALL, I'm replacing the rocker arms on my 1958 235 motor and have a question; Can I just replace the rocker assembly without changing the clearances, and then recheck the clearances after the motor is restarted and warmed up? Thanks for your advise....Richard

bebop40,

Probably not. You can do a COLD adjustment if you add .005 to the specs. After some run-in, go back and set them using a warm motor and the HOT values.

EDIT. The above procedure applies to solid lifters...not hydraulic lifters, I don't know what a '58 engine would have.
