Valve Lash ???
I'm sure someone could tell me what the valve lash is on a 97 12 Valve. I don't think mine have ever been adjusted in 235,000 mile's. Thank's for the help. Gary

valve lash
One of the guys that I respect that works in a Diesel shop that posts a lot on the forum told me to do that. ( .008 - .018) What you are doing make the cam a little bigger or a least a tad. Now on the hot rod when you tighten down the valve lash it would idle different and pull up to 9500 in a short order. I had the rev limet set to 7500. I remember the 427 that had aluminum heads and the lash changed a lot with heat. Or it seemed that way. That was a long time ago. I still would like to build one more some day. This time I will take rod ratio into account. I like to use the longest rod that is possible. Jim
