As a continuation of trying to eliminate the miss on a IH 464 after the engine warms up, and fouling plugs like crazy, I have worked my way into checking the valve lash on the engine. After reading the manual, geez, not sure what I am doing! Book says set at .027 (both intake and exhaust). Can they be set while engine is static (turned off and cold), with some allowance for being cold, or is it best to set them warm. Help! Also, I removed the valve cover and checked some of the valves and the lash is never under .027 and in fact some are as wide as .045. What affect does that have, if any (too wide). If anyone can tell me how to set them properly, I would be grateful. I have just about exhaussted everything I know how to do to try to eliminate the problem. Runs great on a cool day, but when it heats up, here comes the miss (somewhat of a "puffing" sound). Thanks !! Gene

On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
