Hi Friends,
Please share your thoughts on valve clearance of a cold XPAG/TD2 engine.
In short, what I am wondering is what clearance I should use on a freshly
rebuilt engine, to get it hot enough to do a proper HOT engine valve
clearance setting. I believe the hot clearance on the later engines is
0.012" so I'm guessing that 0.018" or so cold, would be fine for the
initial warm-up. I'd much rather suffer valve chatter for a few minutes,
than have the clearance close up due to linear expansion. Your thoughts?

PS: No, I'm nowhere near that point. Its just a question dancing around in
my scattered mind this morning...
