I would like to check the valve clearance on my tractor but according to the instructions you need to run it for several hours to get it hot and then check the clearance within 10 to 20 minutes of stopping. Running it for several hours wouldn't be very convenient because of all the dust it would create for the neighbors, not to mention that I'm getting to the age now that I can't seem to get much of anything done within 10 minutes anymore.😊 I was hoping that someone here might have set there valves hot and then checked them again cold to get an idea of what the difference might be?
Thanks guys,
Randy

"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."
