I don,t have a 46A book but the 15A book I have with the same D342 engine calls for .016" clearance & if it has the compression release then they get set at .025" to 030" And for the rocker studs I don,t have it either but I believe they are a 1/2" stud so 58 to 60 lbs. torque should do it.
46A book says .016 HOT
I was pretty sure they are the same setting as the older 14A-15A engines (D342) so if they are cold set them at .018" or the .016" hot.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
