i heard a rumor (please feel free to validate or kill it here) that the factory actually originally specified 004/006, but that they became concerned about differences in 'feel', and thus erred on the side of caution. this explanation sounded a little elaborate to me at the time, but it still seems to me that a difference of 002 could come down to 'feel'. certainly with SS valves, i would think that you could adjust them until they just *start* to go quiet when the engine is hot. i defer to those w/ more experience, but i too am currently setting them to 004/005 and check them after every other event. |
