Re: [Roadsters] Valve Adjustment hot or cold ?

["Gary and Cindy Ault" <aultgc@att.net>]

Paul,

Hot.  1600s and 2000s have different settings:

    1600:  Intake      0.017"
               Exhaust:   0.017"

    2000:  Intake      0.008"
               Exhaust:   0.012"

Better to be a little loose than a little tight, especially on the exhaust.

Gary
