I check them hot after I've set them cold, and they're very consistent -- they all grow by just a little over .005 -- I just can't set them that fast so they wouldn't cool off. When I do it, I turn the crank over by hand, look at them, pick up the feeler gauge, drop the gauge, look around for my little T-Handle adjuster thingee, adjust one, tighten the lock nut, re-check, re-adjust, tighten, get it just right, sit down, rest, turn the crank over to the next one, rest, get a snack, play with Ellie, check Club Cobra, do another valve, re-check it, find that tightening the lock nut threw off the lash, re-do, rest, check email, post something to annoy Chas, go back to the valves. Since I forgot where I left off I re-do one, since it's not quite perfect.... And so on, and so on.... Seriously, it takes me all day.  |
