[T3] Valve adjustment - .006 or .008

["Bill Niles" <beel@avicom.net>]

On a slightly different note:

After using Muir's guidelines I determined that I have "long studs" on my
heads and should, according to him, use .008 when I adjust my valves.

Is this still a generally accepted practice or should I be setting them at
.006?

I don't think I have excessive valve clatter but if setting them a little
tighter would make it even smoother than I'm all for that. Also, he
mentioned that you experience a slight horse power lose by setting them at
.006 instead of .004 and that made me wonder if I'm losing even more by
setting at .008.

Thanks to all,
Bill
