On the early engines with long studs the valve clearance decreases as the engine warms up, with the short studs the clearance increases. The switch was made early in the 1965 model year, sometime in August or September 1964. According to Elfrink the clearances on the early engines were increased from .008 to .012 at the introduction of the S to help prevent burnt valves.
