hotcam valve lash

[hotrodbelair]

i finally getten around to puttin my ex back together. and i was adjusting the valves and they say to set it at 13mm intake and 15mm exhaust but i dont have a metric set of feeler gauges. im thinking 13mm is .005 and 15mm is .006. am i right? i want to make sure before i go any farther with this.

it is deff. not 15 mm or 13mm that is larger than the bolts that hold your valve cover on.

but the .005 and .006 sounds close. not sure but maybe .004 and .005 havent looked at my feeler guages since mine are bent, so i really dont have to know the size.

It's .15mm (.006") and .13mm (.005")

Mine are adjusted to .005 at both ends as per Fischer Cycle.

the valve lash you run will depend on the cam you run. for the stock cam set it to .004 intake and .005 exhaust. with the hotcam run around .005 on the intake valves and .006 on the exhaust valves.
