Valve lash question

Why does my rocker box say .20 exhaust and the red sticker on my valve cover say .26? I went with the red sticker but I just found it odd. My other truck had a aftermarket cam so I lashed different than stock spec. Again why did they go from .20 to .26.

Oh, used the search function wow it works. They went to.26 for the third injector event, should have known it would be emission related.

i set mine to .020 4 years ago and havnt had a issue yet. when i put my studs in this week and re-due my lash after the retorque I will probably stick with .020

Think you meant .026, .26 (1/4 of a inch) might be a little much there Rye
