Hey guys Im doin the valve lash on my truck, Im planning on sticking to the .010 and .020 Ive heard of bringin them down .002 or so does it make any difference, Im goin for fuel milage and power. Thanks guys take care.

 

As in taking them to 0.08 and 0.018? I don't suggest it at all. Too little valve lash will cause the valves to not close properly.

 

8 and 18 is a very good way to go I have both of my trucks set this way and it is awesome the turbo spools faster and valve rattle is all but gone!

 

Yep, thats what Im worrying about, Ill just keep it a .010, and .020 rather stay safe than have to replace bent valves and busted pistons if it gets that bad! thanks raw!

 

Some good info below....

 

Not too sure about anyone else, but that is a bad link for me.

yes, went crazy on me too

 

8 and 18 is still well above cumins minimum spec, however I set mine to a tight 10 and 20

I don't know what the deal is gents. My computer has went off the deep end. I can't view pic attachments nor pdf attachments.
