Hi, new member here. I am nearing completion on a complete rebuild of my 292. I am keeping everything as stock as practical. Focusing only on what is relevant to my question: The block is an EDB-E casting and the heads are ECL-C. New valves and seats have been installed as well as complete set of “stock” push rods. The push rods are Mummert’s PR-1221-HP, LONG Pushrod for 54-55 and 60-64 heads. The cam is a new "stock" grind and the lifters are new.
Now my question: What is the preferred setting of the valve lash for initial start up and run in? I have seen numbers from 0.015" to 0.019". Of course, I need numbers for a cold engine. Thank you
