Nice to hear from you. Friend of mine has a new engine and I asked him what the valves were set at and he said .020 and .040 and the funny part is it don't run all that bad, no valve noise. Is a little hard to start. Thats like a tongue depressor at .o40 isn't it? lol. I think it running tooo hot also, he is running at 190. What therm are you using? Thanks for the info.
Tim
