valve lash cold
Unless the cam is HUGE [ 290 @ 050 or more, very rare ], you only need to turn the crank 2 revolutions to adjust all 16 valves, using the chart below provided by Chrys. There is a lot of sweat & knuckle grinding done using other longer methods that are time consuming & will do nothing better than the above will do.
If you want to know the hot/cold difference so you can adjust cold, do this:
- have tools ready to remove a valve cover
- get engine to operating temp
- quickly remove a valve cover, find a loose rocker & measure the lash
- come back next morning & measure the same rocker for the hot/cold difference
