Prior to changing anything, I used Krusty's method and got my thinnest gauge. I found a 0.002....
I had rotated the engine around and checked my 1. Swivel Foot on each valve. They spin. 2. I also checked for any rocker movement... or really I kept rotating until i got a CLICK when i wiggled the rocker and spun the Swivel. So at that point i was able to get the 0.002 gauge in. Remember, I am SHOOTING FOR ZERO LASH HERE Should I try make that small adjustment so the 0.002 gauge won't go in? KRUSTY'S Valve adjust method |

So you have never followed up with a gauge? You think 0.002 should be reduced?
I saw the note how the final tightening can reduce the last measured setting. |
