Howard's Cams recommends a valve lash of 0.022; I'm assuming that's hot lash. Of course, the initial lash before start-up will be set cold. If you search the internet, you'll find as many opinions regarding whether cold lash should be greater or less than hot lash, and that doesn't include variables such as aluminum heads on iron block, etc. If the recommended hot lash is 0.022, what should the cold lash be? I hope there's a consensus; we're not talking about motor oil. Thanks.
