Re: Valve Adjustment

If you plan on doing a lot of driving you may want to consider increasing the lash as the original specs where oriented towards not only a super smooth running engine but a QUIET one as well.

Yes, loose valves can burn, but if you experience any seat recession they your lash will go tight not loose.

Now that you have to go a little further than across town to find your local Packard dealer (unless your time machine is more reliable than mine), valves are a little more difficult to come by so you want to modify a few specs to take that into account.
