What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

So I set the lash cold and subtracted. 006 from the specs as it is an iron block and aluminum heads. .010 I and .012 E. Was fine cold. Ran the car hot yesterday to verify no valve cover leaks and had to pull 1 cover. Hot lash check ....way too tight. I almost feel like I needed to add .006. What's everyone doing? I'm going to set the cold lash to .016 and .018 or should I go more? Spec is .016/.018.
I just go by what Hughes said for my cam, .018 & .021.
You have me thinking though after the next dyno pulls I should see where they are at hot and ask Hughes if they figured aluminum heads into their lash specs.
