: I'm still waiting on that elusive manual. Meanwhile. I'd like to
: set the clearance on my tappets. This appears to be something
: that has to be done cold, as the intake/exhaust manifolds are in
: the way. Does anyone have the specs for this? Muchly appreciated
The valve adjustment on the 230 is (with the engine hot) you set the intake at .010 in. and the exhaust at .014 in. The valve tappet clearance with a cold engine is .014 in. The Dodge manual states to do it with the engine hot.
