: valves clearance / 350

Good day,

I like to know if my valves are correctly adjusted or that I need to tuned-up.

What is the correct valve clearance for the intake and outlet valves by a cold engine?

Me and my mechanic are from Holland and having a hard time to find the correct sources.

I'm running a 350 block and as far as I know, except for my cammel humb heads, is everthing standard. Or at least I didn't discover any special (preformance)rockers.

Many thanks in advance!

need to know what cam you have to say anything meaningful about the adjustment. Is it a hydraulic flat tappet? A solid roller? have a grind or part number?

Is it noisy? Is that what is driving this work?

I prefer the hot/running adjustment with the appropriate oil clips.

I don't know what cam I have. This sunday my car will be transported to a garage, then I will take a close look and search for the part number. As far as I have found out I'm running solid rollers.

Yep it's noisy. It's making a tikking-sound.

Thanks for the link
