Make sure you understand where that clearance should be applied/measured.
At cam or at valve stem?

According to the Tilden cam spec sheet, 0.016 is the valve lash setting. It=
references TS Imports as the source. It=92s a pretty fascinating collectio=
n of specs. Check it out.
My Tr3 came from the Wichita region and was was run by John Holsonback. a f=

p. I don=92t have much information about it.
Good luck with your new/old toy!

I believe this is still my engine (via Bill Boemler for you old mid-west gu=

How much valve lash should I be looking for when adjusting the valves?
Thanks in advance.
