Default Running Valves on Solid Lifter Cam
I just ran my valves last night on my 427 T/O. I am running a solid lifter cam and roller rockers. Engine was cold but I always check my valves before I adjust them. Last night my clearances were more like .017 rather than the .020 I thought I had set them at before.

The last time ran my valves I apparently set my valves a little closer than I had thought, because each valve was set at almost the same clearance .017-.019. If I had set my valves hot last time (and I think I did) shouldn't my clearance be off the other way (.021-.023) cold?

Cam specs are 607 lift and 248 dur with 106 lobe centers and recommended gap is .020
