Re: setting valves on a 1936 221 v8
I run 12 on the intake, 14 on the exhaust. And don't be so impatient. I just got home from work. We all don't sit around on the computer all day.

Re: setting valves on a 1936 221 v8
Mike, you probably won't get any more answers because you already have the correct one. Set the lash as stated. Too much lash and tickety-tick. not enough and burned valves.

Re: setting valves on a 1936 221 v8
Your clearances depend on the cam you are using. flatjack9 gave you the correct clearances for most stock cams. What cam is in your motor?
