john
the article talks about valve lash on a sb engine. can you suggest the procedure for cold adjustment of the l-72 bb engine?? i do not want to do this to a hot running engine, if possible.

Werner -

The issues discussed in the article only apply to small-blocks with stock stamped rockers; neither the procedure for determining actual stock rocker ratio (and its rate of change with lift) nor the tedious cam lift/crank angle diagram measurement have been done on any big-blocks.

I'll make you a deal Werner. You measure your OE rockers for their ratio behavior from the lash point to peak lift and I'll tell you the secret of how adjust the valves cold.
