Duke,
I am setting the valve lash on my L72. I am following the procedure outlined in the paper authored by you and John Hinckley.
When I rotate the engine 90* from TDC after setting the first two valves (8E and 2I) I assume I rotate it in the direction the motor turns when running to adjust the next two valves. That is correct, is it not? Perhaps a stupid question, but I want to get it right the first time. While I am asking questions, do you still recommend .020/.022 on the settings for an L72? And since this is my first time adjusting solid lifters should the guage fit between the rocker arm and valve pretty tight?
Thanks,
Larry
