I have an all aluminum 496 with Comp Cam Solid Roller and T&D shaft mounted rockers and I set mine at .012 cold which ends up .025 hot. My Comp Cam card says .025 hot and numerous times I've checked them cold and it's right on .012. Keith Craft who built the motor told me .012 to .014 cold would be in the ball game! I recently purchased the LSM Racing Valve Lash Torque Adjustment tool and actually checked and adjusted a few of mine yesterday. This tool is so cool and it allows you to hold the set screw and tork the nut at 20 ft lbs.
