    Check to make sure you don't have hydraulic lifters. They require no manual adjustment.

      Manual is .012" hot I think. Hard to read, .012 exhaust hot and .007 intake hot ?? Maybe I should go read it.

        Okay, I put my hearing aids on, my blue tooth, my glasses and my really bright flashlight and some rogue river slippers and it says .012" hot valve side, .007" cam side for all valves.

        Tomorrow I change the oils and adjust those buggers, put in a new gasket and grommets then head for the mountains...
